In some embodiments, a system and/or method may assess handedness of a user of a system in an automated manner. The method may include displaying a 3D image on a display. The 3D image may include at least one object. The method may include tracking a position and an orientation of an input device in open space in relation to the 3D image. The method may include assessing a handedness of a user based on the position and the orientation of the input device with respect to at least one of the objects. In some embodiments, the method may include configuring at least a portion of the 3D image based upon the assessed handedness. The at least a portion of the 3D image may include interactive menus. In some embodiments, the method may include configuring at least a portion of an interactive hardware associated with the system based upon the assessed handedness.

Methods for automatically assessing user handedness in computer systems and the utilization of such information

Systems and methods for enhancement of a coupled zone of a 3D stereoscopic display. The method may include determining a size and a shape of the coupled zone. The coupled zone may include a physical volume specified by the user's visual depth of field with respect to screen position of the 3D stereoscopic display and the user's point of view. Content may be displayed at a first position with a virtual 3D space and the first position may correspond to a position within the coupled zone. It may be determined that the content is not contained in the coupled zone or is within a specified distance from a boundary of the coupled zone and, in response, display of the content may be adjusted such that the content has a second position in the virtual 3D space that corresponds to another position within the coupled zone.

Modifying displayed images in the coupled zone of a stereoscopic display based on user comfort

Modifying perspective of stereoscopic images provided by one or more displays based on changes in user view, user control, and/or display status. A display system may include a housing, a display comprised in the housing, and one or more tracking sensors comprised in the housing. The one or more tracking sensors may be configured to sense user view and/or user control position and orientation information. The one or more tracking sensors may be associated with a position and orientation of the display. The user view and/or user control position and orientation information may be used in generating the rendered left and right eye images for display.

Tightly coupled interactive stereo display

In some embodiments, a system and/or method may include accessing three-dimensional (3D) imaging software on a remote server. The method may include accessing over a network a 3D imaging software package on a remote server using a first system. The method may include assessing, using the remote server, a capability of the first system to execute the 3D imaging software package. The method may include displaying an output of the 3D imaging software using the first system based upon the assessed capabilities of the first system. In some embodiments, the method may include executing a first portion of the 3D imaging software using the remote server based upon the assessed capabilities of the first system. In some embodiments, the method may include executing a second portion of the 3D imaging software using the first system based upon the assessed capabilities of the first system.

System and methods for cloud based 3D design and collaboration

A method for level of detail in a 3D environment application involves establishing a tiered system for processing a graphical object at a distance from a perspective point. The tiered system comprises a first level and a second level, the first level for processing the graphical object at a first range from the perspective point, and the second level for processing the graphical object at a second range from the perspective point. The method also involves determining the distance of the graphical object from the perspective point, assigning, while rendering the graphical object and based on the distance, the graphical object to a corresponding level of the tiered system, and executing a virtual processor assigned to the graphical object. The virtual processor executes every frame when the graphical object is assigned to the first level, less than every frame when assigned to the second level, and displaying the graphical object.

System and method for applying level of detail schemes

A system and method for communicating 3D branch graph data and updates to branch graph data between clients and a display server in a 3D window system. A client locally creates a branch graph. When the client ready to make the branch graph live remote, it sends the branch graph to the display server using at least one batch protocol request. The display server builds a copy of the branch graph and attaches it to a centralized scene graph that it manages. The client may subsequently induce detachment of the branch graph from the scene graph. The client may buffer up changes to the local branch graph when its remote counterpart (in the display server) is not attached to the scene graph. The buffered changes may be sent to the display server using at least one batch protocol request when the client is again ready to make the branch graph live remote.
