Hi
I'm hoping to generate a column interleaved output initially using
software i.e. Java3D. Usually this is done for stereo with 2 Canvas3D
instances for left and right eyes, but I'm trying to interlace at
least 8 views. The composite image for 8 viewpoints is created as:
required pixel columns in composite
viewpoint 1: 0,8,16,24...............etc
viewpoint 2: 1,9,17,25...............etc
viewpoint 3: 2,10,18,26..............etc
"
"
viewpoint 8: 7,15,23,31..............etc
(The final composite image is then decoded, to direct the correct views
to the correct eyes, using a microlens array. This gives all round
viewing - with parallax - and doesn't require the user to wear glasses.)
OpenGL allows stencil buffering, which could do the job, but I read here that
this will not be implemented in Java3D until v1.4. Has anyone got any ideas
to this problem? Overlap images on the same Canvas and use Transparency is
the best I can think of but being relatively new to Java/Java3D there might be
some easy way I'm missing. e.g. is it possible to use and modify the present
Java3D stereo implementation from 2 viewpoints to more than 2?
