Abstract
A method and system for adjustable 3-dimensional content are described in which a viewer can adjust the depth range according to the viewer's own visual comfort level and/or viewing preference. The depth change is achieved by shifting the left and right images of stereoscopic content image pairs so that corresponding pixels in the shifted left and right images of a stereoscopic pair exhibit a new horizontal disparity sufficient to achieve the desired depth change. By shifting the left and right images in an image pair, content objects in the scene can appear closer to, or farther away from the viewer than those same objects in the un-shifted image pair. This technique achieves a viewer controlled customization of the sensation of depth in the stereoscopic 3-dimensional content.
