  • Device and method for rendering and delivering 3-D content
    Patent number: 9325963
    Abstract: A device for delivering 3-D content includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first signal containing 2-D content, and a processing unit configured to (i) determine an amount of a difference in the content in the first signal to be visualized by a left visual sensor and a right visual sensor, (ii) determine whether the amount of the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined minimum value, (iii) to discard the signal to be visualized by one of the left visual sensor and the right visual sensor when the amount of the difference is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined minimum value, and (iv) generate a second signal containing the 2-D content of the first signal and 3-D content in which the first signal to be visualized by the one of the left visual sensor and the right visual sensor is discarded.
