Abstract:
A method of producing vertically or forward projecting three-dimensional images using virtual 3D models, wherein said 3D models are created by the simultaneous localization and depth-mapping of the physical features of real objects. A camera is used to take a first image from a first perspective, and a subsequent image from a subsequent perspective, wherein the autofocus system provides a first set of depth mapping data and a subsequent set of depth mapping data. The first set of depth mapping data and the subsequent set of depth mapping data are used to generate a disparity mapping. A virtual 3D model is created from the disparity mapping. The virtual 3D model is imaged to obtain images that can be viewed as three-dimensional. Enhanced 3D effects are added to the virtual 3D model that cause aspects of the image to appear to extend above, or in front of, the display medium.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of producing virtual imagery to be viewed on a display medium, wherein said virtual imagery contains aspects that appear to be three dimensional when viewed on said display medium, said method comprising the steps of:\n providing a camera at a physical scene, wherein said camera embodies an autofocus system; taking a first image of said physical scene with said camera from a first perspective, wherein said autofocus system provides a first set of depth mapping data corresponding to said first image; taking a subsequent image of said physical scene with said camera from a subsequent perspective, wherein said autofocus system provides a subsequent set of depth mapping data corresponding to said subsequent image; using said first set of depth mapping data and said subsequent set of depth mapping data to generate a disparity mapping; creating a virtual 3D model of said physical scene from said disparity mapping; imaging said virtual 3D model from stereoscopic viewpoints to obtain stereoscopic images of said virtual 3D model; and displaying said stereoscopic images on said display medium.
