GENERATING A 3D INTERACTIVE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FROM A 2D STATIC IMAGE

摘要

A two-dimensional (2D) static image may be used to generate a three- dimensional (3D) interactive immersive experience. An image type of the 2D image may first be identified. The image type may be selected from a set of types such as interior, exterior, people, corridor, landscape, and other. Each image type may have an associated main feature type. The main feature of the 2D image may be identified using the corresponding main feature type. Then, unless the 2D image is of the "other" image type, a 3D object with two or more planes may be generated. The planes may intersect on the identified main feature. A virtual camera may be positioned proximate the 3D object, and a 3D view of the 3D object may be generated and displayed for the user. The user may optionally move the virtual camera, within limits, to view the 3D object from other locations.
