Abstract

Left and right visual feeds are configured to form contiguous non-stereo left, stereo central, and non-stereo right display regions. Viewed together, an appearance of full-width stereo three-dimensionality may be achieved. The left and right display regions have the brightness of the left or right feeds respectively, while the central display region has the combined brightness of the left and right feeds. The parts of the left and right feeds that cooperate to form the stereo central display region may be scaled in brightness, so that the central display area is of uniform brightness with the left and right display areas, or smoothly varying, continuous, varying in a controlled manner, etc., rather than appearing as a sharply-defined area twice as bright as the left and right display areas. Scaling profiles may be uniform step-downs, linearly decreasing, quadratically decreasing, otherwise curved, some combination thereof, etc.
