Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate generation of enhanced spatial effects for stereo audio systems. Such can be accomplished by integrating on top ambience signal boosting employed in conventional systems. In particular, the ambience signal can be transformed according to a time-dependent function, which can simulate the auditory impressions of a real-world listening environment that may contain static, regularly moving, and/or irregular moving elements.

Abstract: A numerical method of recording a two or three dimensional object scene in a binary hologram. When the binary hologram is illuminated with a reference beam, the original object scene can be reconstructed and observed by a viewer. As the hologram is binary, i.e. composed of black or white pixels, it can be printed with commodity printers. The process is simple, fast, and economical, hence decreasing the cost and time for hologram design and production. In addition, with binary holograms, the ability to store the holograms is enhanced and binary holograms facilitate efficient transmission of the holograms.

Abstract: A method of encoding video signals into a single video signal includes extracting background images from corresponding video signals, encoding the video signals into a single video signal, the single video signal containing information for reconstructing the video signals, and replacing frames of the single video signal with the background images.

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus for generating a three-dimensional display from a conventional television screen or computer monitor, and in particular to an adapter that may be placed in front of a television screen or computer monitor to enable three-dimensional images to be perceived by a viewer.
