Samsung patents method to adjust 2D app resolution for 3D displays
Samsung describes a system that takes standard 2D apps and prepares them for 3D viewing by first checking how far away the content appears in a virtual space. The device then adjusts the image quality based on that distance and splits the picture into separate views for each eye to create a 3D effect.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one display, memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions, and at least one processor comprising processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the at least one display and the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to in response to execution of an application configured to provide a two-dimensional image, obtain depth information about an area in which an application is to be rendered in a three-dimensional space, determine resolution information for the application according to the depth information about the area, convert image information corresponding to the two-dimensional image of the application generated according to the resolution information into dual image information corresponding to images for both eyes, and display a rendered image on the at least one display on the basis of the dual image information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: at least one display; memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; and at least one processor comprising processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the at least one display and the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: in response to execution of an application configured to provide a two-dimensional image, obtain depth information for an area on which the application is to be rendered in a three-dimensional space, determine resolution information for the application in accordance with the depth information for the area, convert image information corresponding to the two-dimensional image of the application, generated in accordance with the resolution information, into dual image information corresponding to images for two eyes, and display, through the at least one display, a rendering image based on the dual image information.
