Abstract: An image rendering device realizes stereoscopic viewing of composite images generated by compositing background three-dimensional models and foreground three-dimensional models each defined in three-dimensional modeling space. A texture mapping unit converts background image data into two or more viewpoint textures and maps each viewpoint texture to a background three-dimensional model in the three-dimensional modeling space. A viewport conversion unit extracts, for each of the two or more viewpoint textures, a viewport image from the background three-dimensional model mapped with the viewpoint texture and from the foreground three-dimensional model.

Abstract: A playback apparatus plays back video data recorded on a recording medium such as a BD-ROM. The playback apparatus includes (i) an interface in which a removable medium such as an SDRAM is inserted, (ii) a detection module detecting that the removable medium is inserted, and (iii) a virtual file system. The virtual file system is used if the removable medium is detected to be inserted, if additional content such as subtitles is recorded on the removable medium, and furthermore if the additional content is associated with the video data recorded on the BD-ROM, etc. The virtual file system dynamically combines the video data recorded on the BD-ROM, etc. and the additional content of the removable medium so as to play back a virtual package.

Abstract: A PEB unit has a first heat plate and a second heat plate.

Abstract: An image rendering device realizes stereoscopic viewing of a joint background image. A DIBR unit 17 applies pixel shifting to each background image constructing the joint background image and also conducts boundary processing relative to the pixel shifting. The joint background image is composed of one or more background images stitched together along their edges on a three-dimensional model. The pixel shifting is to shift pixels of each background image in the row direction. The amount of shift applied to each pixel is determined based on the depth value of a corresponding pixel of a depth image. The boundary processing is to extract pixels shifted out of the display region of a given background image as a result of pixel shifting and add the extracted pixels to an edge of another background image adjacent to the given background image in the row direction.
