Abstract: Apparatus for delivery of stereo 3D content, including a library manager for retrieving, from a digital library of stereo 3D content, a version of a requested item of stereo 3D content stored in the library, on demand, a receiver, coupled with the library manager, for receiving, from a target device, a request for a desired item of stereo 3D content stored in the library, and an identification of display properties and stereo 3D characteristics of the target device, an adaptation engine, coupled with the receiver and with the library manager, for adapting the version of the item of stereo 3D content retrieved by the library manager, to an adapted version, optimized for viewing on the target device, based on the display properties and stereo 3D characteristics of the target device, and a transmitter, coupled with the adaptation engine, for transmitting the adapted version of the item of stereo 3D content to the target device, for download or for streaming. A system and a method are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A system for creation of stereoscopic 3D images, including a disparity map initializer, for deriving one or more initial disparity maps represented as vector fields of translations between aligned left and right images of a scene, a disparity map generator, coupled with the disparity map initializer, for deriving disparity maps for the aligned left and right images, from the initial disparity maps, and a view renderer, coupled with the disparity map generator, for rendering stereoscopic 3D images, from the aligned left and right images, and from the disparity maps. A method for creating stereoscopic 3D images is also described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating and displaying a stereoscopic image on a mobile computing device. The apparatus includes an autostereoscopic overlay which is secured over at least a portion of the screen of the mobile computing device, such as by using a case. Computer-readable instructions are executed on the mobile computing device to align two captured images, if necessary, and interlace them into an interlaced image for subsequent display to the screen of the mobile computing device. When the displayed image is viewed by the user of the mobile computing device through the autostereoscopic overlay, the image appears as a stereoscopic (or three-dimensional) image.
