Abstract

A method of generating a depth cue for three dimensional video content is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of (a) detecting three dimensional video content that will appear in observer space when displayed () (b) identifying a reference projection parameter () (c) estimating a location of a shadow that would be generated by the detected content as a consequence of a light source emitting light according to the reference projection parameter () and (d) projecting light content imitating a shadow to the estimated location to coincide with display of the three dimensional video content (). Also disclosed are a computer program product for carrying out a method of generating a depth cue for three dimensional video content and an apparatus () for generating a depth cue for three dimensional video content.
