3D Display Runtime Stereo Conversion for Content Availability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current 3D display technologies are limited by insufficient 3D image content, preventing users from fully experiencing the 3D visual effect, even with 3D displays, due to the lack of suitable content that can be properly displayed by various 3D display systems.
Innovation Solution
A 3D display system and method that captures and converts image content from application programs into stereo format images, using a processor and memory to deliver them through a specific development standard API, enabling display frame processing for 3D displays, thus expanding the range of 3D content that can be displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If 3D display technology is adopted to provide immersive visual experience, then the visual quality and user experience are improved, but the availability of suitable 3D image content is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The runtime system is designed to support multiple application program types (first type and second type applications) through a unified interface, enabling the same 3D display system to handle diverse content sources. The processor can capture images from different application types, convert them to stereo format, and deliver through the common runtime infrastructure, thus expanding 3D content availability without requiring separate systems for each application type.
Solution Approach 2:
The runtime acts as an intermediary layer between application programs and the 3D display hardware. It receives image content from various application types, performs the necessary stereo format conversion and display frame processing, and delivers the processed content to the 3D display. This intermediary approach enables content from non-3D applications to be properly transformed for 3D display, significantly expanding available 3D content.
2Reliability
If 3D display hardware is provided with specific specifications, then the 3D display performance is improved, but the compatibility with various application programs is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The runtime serves as a compatibility layer that mediates between diverse application programs and the specific 3D display hardware. It captures image content from any application type, performs standardized stereo format conversion, and adapts the output to match the specific requirements of the 3D display hardware through display frame processing, thus maintaining both performance and compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system design enables the 3D display hardware to work with multiple application program types through a universal runtime interface. The processor can handle both first type applications (capturing display content) and second type applications (direct stereo format output), converting them all into formats suitable for the specific 3D display hardware, thereby achieving broad compatibility without sacrificing display performance.
3Quantity of substance
If stereo format conversion is performed for all application programs, then the 3D content availability is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides application programs into two categories (first type and second type) with different processing requirements. First type applications require full stereo format conversion through runtime processing, while second type applications that already output in stereo format can be delivered more directly. This segmentation allows the system to apply complex processing only where necessary, improving 3D content availability while managing processing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The runtime system automatically detects the type of application program and applies the appropriate processing pathway without requiring manual intervention. For applications already outputting in stereo format, the runtime can directly deliver the content with minimal processing, while automatically applying full stereo conversion only when needed, thus reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining high 3D content availability.

AI summary
A 3D display system and a 3D display method are provided. The 3D display system includes a 3D display, a memory, and a processor. The processor is coupled to the 3D display and the memory and is configured to execute the following steps. As a first type application program is executed, an image content of the first type application program is captured, and a stereo format image is generated according to the image content of the first type application program. The stereo format image is delivered to a runtime complying with a specific development standard through an application program interface complying with the specific development standard. A display frame processing associated with the 3D display is performed on the stereo format image through the runtime, and a 3D display image content generated by the display frame processing is provided to the 3D display for displaying.
