Patent ID: 8887206

Claim:
A device for delivering three-dimensional (3-D) content, the device comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a first signal containing at least two-dimensional (2-D) content; and a processing unit configured to: determine an amount of a difference in the content in the first signal to be visualized by a left visual sensor and a right visual sensor, determine whether the amount of the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined minimum value, and to discard a portion of the first signal to be visualized by one of the left visual sensor and the right visual sensor corresponding to the amount of the difference when the amount of the difference is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined minimum value; the predetermined minimum value representing when one of the first visual sensor and the second visual sensor visualize the content in the first signal beyond a 3-D region of space into a 2-D region of space; and generate a second signal containing the 2-D content of the first signal and 3-D content in which the portion of the first signal to be visualized by the one of the left visual sensor and the right visual sensor is discarded.
