  • Patent number: 9021399
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image reproduction device for providing a 3D user interface includes a UI generator which generates a user interface, a depth information processor which generates a 3D depth for the user interface, and a formatting unit which generates a 3D user interface for the user interface by using the 3D depth. The depth information processor may be integrated with the formatting unit. Various factors used to generate 3D depth perception include at least any one of blur, textual gradient, linear perspective, shading, color, brightness, and chroma, which results in a 3D-type user interface (UI) being shown on a stereoscopic image display.

  • Publication number: 20120032954
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stereoscopic image reproducing apparatus which provides a user interface (UI) appropriate for a 3D image signal, comprising: a user interface generating unit which generates the user interface; a UI-scaling unit which scales the generated UI in accordance with the mode of the 3D image signal; a first storage unit which stores the scaled UI together with a first position value; a second storage unit which copies the UI stored in the first storage unit, and stores the copied UI together with a second position value in accordance with the mode of the 3D image signal; and an integrated storage unit which integrates the UIs stored in the first storage unit and in the second storage unit in accordance with the position value of each of the UIs, and stores the integrated UIs. Preferably, the UI-scaling unit performs a downscaling process for reducing the generated UI in the horizontal direction when the 3D image signal has a side-by-side mode.
