Patent ID: 8913319

Claim:
A method for generating modified video, comprising: (1) acquiring a source video comprised of a sequence 2D image frames; (2) determining a value for an inter-ocular distance of the viewer and factors for a display resolution and a video frame speed; (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: (a) a lateral speed of the image frame, using the two or more motion vectors; and (b) a direction of motion of the image frame, using the two or more motion vectors; (5) generating a deformation value by applying an algorithm that uses the inter-ocular distance, both of the factors, and both of the parameters; (6) applying the deformation value to the image frame to identify a modified image frame, the modified image frame being a different image frame from the sequence of 2D image frames; and (7) displaying the modified image frame to a 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.
