Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that modify a stereoscopic scene using a user-positioned stereo depth marker. In one example, the marker may be used to position content (e.g., computer-generated, virtual content, 3D objects, etc.) on top of/within the stereo scene by providing info about stereo depth, camera height, where features sit in depth in each eye's image, etc. In another example, the marker may additionally or alternatively be used to associate one or more objects, such as a tree depicted within the scene, with the background or foreground aspects/plates, which may then be rendered differently in providing the altered stereo content.
