Patent ID: 7671889

Claim:
A method for generating content for an autostereoscopic display, comprising the steps of: obtaining a plurality of master images, reducing resolution of each master image to be a fraction of the resolution of the autostereoscopic display, where the autostereoscopic display has a predefined screen aspect ratio, and wherein said reducing comprises generating each reduced resolution master image based on a quantity of master images obtained, wherein a ratio of horizontal resolution to vertical resolution for each reduced resolution master image approximates the predefined screen aspect ratio, and mapping selected pixels from the reduced resolution master images to form an interdigitated stereogram, wherein pixels are selected from each reduced resolution master image in correspondence with their position under a lenticule in the interdigitated stereogram; and wherein the quantity of master images obtains is N, and for a master image having dimension X by Y, a corresponding reduced resolution master image has a dimension of approximate proportion X/√N by Y/√N.
