Abstract

Disclosed is an illustrator- or painter-operated, computer-mediated system for creating binocular, stereoscopic images from 2-D and 3-D image elements created by the operator or imported into the system. Depth effects are synthesized by creating parallax offsets which are applied to the display positions of the various elements in the view presented to each eye. The magnitude of the offset for each object is related to the depth of that object, the direction of the offset is related to which eye the view is intended for. A 3-D input device is described as a system component which may be used to control such a system. Additional techniques are disclosed whereby digital information so created may be displayed, broadcast, or utilized in a virtual reality system.
