Abstract: The present invention includes methods, systems, devices and associated processing logic for generating stereoscopic 3-Dimensional images and/or video from 2-Dimensional images or video. There may be provided a stereoscopic 3D generating system to extrapolate and render 2D complementary images and or video from a first 2D image and/or video. The complementary images and/or video, when combined with the first image or video, or a second complementary image or video, form a stereoscopic image of the scene captured in the first image or video. The stereoscopic 3D generation system may generate a complementary image or images, such that when a viewer views the first image or a second complementary image (shifted in the other direction from the first complementary image) with one eye and the complementary image with the other eye, an illusion of depth in the image is created (e.g. a stereoscopic 3D image).
