Claim:
A system to present three-dimensional video content to a viewer, the system comprising: a display comprising a plurality of pixels; an aperture arrangement interposed in a line-of-sight between the display and the viewer, the aperture arrangement comprising a plurality of apertures, the plurality of apertures comprising a plurality of physical openings in an opaque material; and a processor coupled to the display, wherein the processor and the display are cooperatively configured to: determine a first subset of the plurality of pixels that are viewable by a right eye of the viewer through the aperture arrangement by executing a first configuration scan procedure, the first configuration scan procedure comprising a first sequence of different combinations of columns of pixels activated on the display and viewed by the viewer using only the right eye; determine a second subset of the plurality of pixels that are viewable by a left eye of the viewer through the aperture arrangement by executing a second configuration scan procedure, the second configuration scan procedure comprising a second sequence of different combinations of columns of pixels activated on the display and viewed by the viewer using only the left eye, wherein the first subset and the second subset are mutually exclusive; display right channel content on the first subset of the plurality of pixels; and display left channel content on the second subset of the plurality of pixels.
