Abstract: Improved techniques are presented for generating stereoscopic image of 2D web pages. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a stereo-enhancing annotation tool is provided and used to generate intermediate HTML source code. The intermediate HTML source code—together with the normal HTML code that is served when a user's browser makes a URL call—are used by a computer processing unit to generate stereoscopic images. Algorithms optimize the look and feel of stereoscopically-imaged web-page content using a number of known presentation optimized parameters that are automatically determined based on a priori assumptions of depth cues.
