Claim One:
1. A method of producing a virtual scene to be viewed on a display, wherein said virtual scene contains a virtual object that appears to be three dimensional when viewed on said display, said method comprising the steps of: defining a virtual reference plane having peripheral boundaries that include a front boundary, a rear boundary, and side boundaries; setting said virtual object on said virtual reference plane; determining stereoscopic camera viewpoints that enable said virtual object to be imaged with said reference plane within said peripheral boundaries of said reference plane; altering said virtual object by virtually bending a portion of said virtual object to create an altered virtual object; imaging said altered virtual object from said stereoscopic camera viewpoints, wherein imaging said altered virtual object from said stereoscopic camera viewpoints creates a first image and a second image; superimposing said first image and said second image to create a superimposed image; defining a common set of boundaries for said superimposed image to create a final image; and displaying said final image on said display, wherein said final image appears, at least in part, to extend out of said display.
