20130257857 | STEREOSCOPIC DEVICE AND IMAGE GENERATION METHOD - An image projected onto a screen from a projector is generated as follows. Specifically, two virtual viewpoints that correspond to the right eye and the left eye of a viewer are set in a virtual three-dimensional space, and two virtual planes are set to be circumscribed to the screen (plane of projection). A plane image is generated by perspective projection transformation of a game space onto the virtual plane based on each virtual viewpoint. A projection image is generated from each plane image according to the relationship between the pixel position of the virtual plane and the pixel position of the projection image that is defined so that the plane image is observed without distortion when observing the screen from a presumed viewing position to generate a right-eye projection image and a left-eye projection image. | 10-03-2013 |
