Abstract
Apparatus and methods for conditional display of a stereoscopic image pair on a display device are disclosed. In some aspects, a vertical disparity between two images is corrected. If the corrected vertical disparity is below a threshold, a three dimensional image may be generated based on the correction. In some cases, the corrected vertical disparity may still be significant, for example, above the threshold. In these instances, the disclosed apparatus and methods may display a two dimensional image.
