Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, by a processor, a focal plane associated with a predefined three-dimensional scene from a set of two or more different two-dimensional representations of the predefined three dimensional scene, each respective representation in the set of the two or more different two-dimensional representations having a different perspective of view of the predefined three-dimensional scene, wherein the focal plane is identified by high spatial frequency components of a portion of an object represented in each of the different two or more two-dimensional representations; determining, by the processor, a depth of the focal plane for positioning a graphical element in the predefined three-dimensional scene based on the portion of the object used to identify the focal plane, identified by high spatial frequency components, and being represented in the set of two or more different two-dimensional representations, wherein determining the depth of the focal plane for positioning the graphical element comprises: determining parallax between corresponding high spatial frequency components of the portion of the object used to identify the focal plane and present in each representation in the set of two or more different two-dimensional representations, determining depth information using the parallax of the set of two or more representations in which each representation has a different perspective of view of the predefined three-dimensional scene, identifying other objects in the predefined three-dimensional scene, and superimposing the graphical element in the focal plane of the scene based on the determined depth information of the portion of the object used to identify the focal plane to preserve depth perception, wherein superimposing includes determining a position for each of two or more perspective views of the graphical element in a corresponding two-dimensional representation of the predefined three-dimensional scene such that the graphical element is placed in the focal plane and is absent occlusion by the portion of the object and the other objects in the predefined three-dimensional scene; and producing a modified set of two or more two-dimensional representations of the predefined three-dimensional scene, wherein each two-dimensional representation in the modified set includes a perspective view of the superimposed graphical element absent occlusion from the objects included in the three-dimensional scene, and the individual two-dimensional representations in the modified set are configured such that the graphical element appears in the focal plane.
