Benefits of technology
[0009]Implementations of the present invention solve one or more problems in the art with systems, methods, and computer program products configured to allow for viewing of three-dimensional (3D) content on a broad range of display devices. In particular, implementations of the present invention provide for shuttering of transitions between left eye images and right eye images of 3D content. One or more implementations of the present invention allow a viewer to experience a level of quality that can match or even exceed the quality experienced with specialized 3D display devices. Accordingly, implementations of the present invention can alleviate or eliminate the need to purchase a 3D-specific display device by enabling the viewing of 3D content on traditional display devices in a high quality manner.
Problems solved by technology
Traditional display devices, such as computer monitors, television sets, and portable display devices, are typically either incapable of producing suitable image data for 3D viewing, or produce an inferior 3D viewing experience.
For instance, using traditional display devices to view 3D content generally results in blurry images and / or images that have “ghosting” effects, both of which may cause dizziness, headache, discomfort, and even nausea in the viewer.
These 3D display devices, however, are relatively expensive when compared with traditional display devices.
As a result, consumers who desire to view 3D content are faced with the purchase of expensive 3D display devices, even when they may already have traditional display devices available.

A shuttering device can improve a viewer's perception of displayed three-dimensional (3D) content by concurrently shuttering both of the viewer's eyes during frame transitions. One implementation includes the shuttering device receiving a shuttering signal synchronized to a display of 3D content at a display device. In response to the shuttering signal, the shuttering device can shutter the display of the 3D content. The shuttering can include shuttering a first shuttering component during a first time period corresponding to display of second eye 3D content. The shuttering can also include shuttering both the first shuttering component and a second shuttering component concurrently during a second time period corresponding to display of a transition from the second eye 3D content to first eye 3D content. Additionally, the shuttering can include shuttering the second shuttering component during a third time period corresponding to display of the first eye 3D content.
