Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that modify stereo content item depicting a 3D environment by adding content (e.g., virtual 3D objects) with blurring that addresses resolution mismatch, e.g., a mismatch between the lower-resolution stereo camera capture and higher-resolution added content. Blurring may be done per eye since the slight differences in viewpoints may require significant differences in blurring. Blurring may be performed by locating a focal point and blurring content behind that focal point. In one example, no foreground blurring may be performed, only blurring of the background.
