Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating stereoscopic images to supplement existing content, the method comprising: obtaining first image data; obtaining second image data comprising a plurality of sample points, wherein a direction, a color value, and a depth value are associated with each sample point, and wherein the directions and depth values are relative to a common origin; generating a mesh, wherein the mesh is displaced from the origin in the directions associated with the sample points by distances representative of the corresponding depth values; mapping the second image data to the mesh, wherein the color values associated with the sample points are mapped to the mesh at the corresponding directions; generating a first stereoscopic image of the mesh from a first perspective; generating a second stereoscopic image of the mesh from a second perspective; causing a display of the first image data on a first portion of a display; and causing a display of at least part of the first stereoscopic image and at least part of the second stereoscopic image on a second portion of the display, wherein at least part of the second portion of the display does not overlap the first portion of the display.
