Abstract:
1. A method for generating modified video, comprising: (1) acquiring a source video comprising a sequence of 2D image frames; (2) determining a value for an inter-ocular distance of a viewer; (3) obtaining an image frame from the source video that includes two or more motion vectors that describe motion in the image frame where each of the motion vectors is associated with a region of the image frame; (4) calculating a single parameter for each of the following: (5) generating a deformation value by applying an algorithm that uses the inter-ocular distance and both of the parameters; (6) applying the deformation value to the image frame to identify a modified image frame; (7) blending the modified image frame with a first bridge frame that is different from the modified image frame to generate a first blended frame; (8) blending the modified image frame with a second bridge frame that is different from the modified image frame and different from the first bridge frame to generate a second blended frame; and (9) displaying the first blended frame and the second blended frame to the viewer; wherein the direction of motion and velocity of motion parameters in the calculation step are calculated only from the motion vectors input along with the image frame.
