Abstract:
1. A processor-implemented method for rendering information in three dimensions, the method comprising: receiving, in the processor, default data indicative of an image from a default virtual camera; mapping coordinates of each of a first eye and a second eye of a viewer to a world space coordinate system; refining the mapped coordinates of the first eye and the second eye in the world space coordinate system to account for a distance of the viewer from a display device; using the processor to generate first data indicative of a first image from a first virtual camera located at the refined mapped coordinates of the first eye; using the processor to generate second data indicative of a second image from a second virtual camera located at the refined mapped coordinates of the second eye, wherein: a viewing angle associated with the first virtual camera is offset, in accordance with a first offset, from a viewing angle associated with the default virtual camera; a viewing angle associated with the second virtual camera is offset, in accordance with a second offset, from a viewing angle associated with the default virtual camera; a focal distance of the first virtual camera is infinity; and a focal distance of the second virtual camera is infinity; using the processor to generate a composite image comprising the first image and the second image; and using the processor to provide the composite image for rendering using the display device, wherein the composite image is perceivable in three dimensions.
