SYSTEM, METHOD AND SOFTWARE FOR PRODUCING VIRTUAL THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGES THAT APPEAR TO PROJECT FORWARD OF OR ABOVE AN ELECTRONIC DISPLAY

摘要

A system, method and software for producing a virtual scene to be viewed on an electronic display. A virtual reference plane is defined. The reference plane has peripheral boundaries. A virtual object is positioned above the reference plane in the virtual scene. Stereoscopic camera viewpoints are calculated that enable the virtual object to be imaged with the reference plane within the peripheral boundaries of the reference plane. The virtual object is digitally altered before and/or after being stereoscopically imaged. The altering includes bending, tapering or tilting a portion of the virtual object, and/or tilting a portion of the reference plane. A common set of boundaries are set for a superimposed image to create a final image.
