Abstract:
1. A method for combining stereoscopic pair layers, the method comprising: receiving a first left eye image and a first right eye image of a first stereo image pair layer, wherein the first left eye image is aligned with the first right eye image according to a first predetermined offset value used when the first stereo image pair layer was created to produce the first stereo image pair layer that appears at a first convergence depth in a display environment; receiving a second left eye image and a second right eye image of a second stereo image pair layer, wherein the second left eye image is aligned with the second right eye image according to a second predetermined offset value to produce the second stereo image pair layer that appears at a second convergence depth in the display environment that is different than the first convergence depth; combining the first left eye image and the second left eye image to produce a combined left eye image of a stereoscopic image that is suitable for display; and combining the first right eye image and the second right eye image to produce a combined right eye image of the stereoscopic image.
