Claim One:
1. A method for applying image blur based on depth information, comprising: receiving a 3D image captured by a 3D camera, the 3D image comprising a plurality of objects and depth information for each of the plurality of objects; identifying one of the plurality of objects as a subject object; determining a first distance between the 3D camera and the subject object based on the depth information associated with the subject object; determining a second distance between the subject object and a first additional object of the plurality of objects based on the depth information associated with the first additional object and the depth information associated with the subject object; receiving a virtual f-number and a virtual focal length; calculating a first blur factor for the first additional object, the first blur factor based on the first distance, the second distance, the virtual f-number, and the virtual focal length; and applying a first image blur to the first additional object based on the first blur factor.
