Patent ID: 8531448

Claim:
A stereoscopic image display apparatus for, according to a file, generating a stereoscopic image to be perceived by a user based on a left viewpoint image and a right viewpoint image corresponding respectively to left and right eyes of the user, wherein the apparatus is programmed to: identify a first object specified in the file as subject to a stereoscopic rendering process which renders the first object with a parallax amount between the left viewpoint image and right viewpoint image; identify a second object specified in the file as rendered adjacent to the first object in a horizontal direction and rendered with no parallax between the left viewpoint image and the right viewpoint image; determine the parallax amount and a deviation direction for rendering the first object in the left viewpoint image and the right viewpoint image based on the file; render the first object at a first horizontal position in the left viewpoint image and a second horizontal position in the right viewpoint image based on the parallax amount and the deviation direction such that the first horizontal position is separated from the second horizontal position by the parallax amount; and render the second object at a third horizontal position in the left and right viewpoint images with no parallax, in which the second object is shifted from an original position to the third horizontal position such that the first and second objects do not overlap in either of the left and right viewpoint images.
