Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are directed to emulating a semi-transparent effect with respect to a display element rendered via a GUI. The semi-transparent effect may be generated based on a sampling of pixel values of another display element that is non-overlapping with the display element. For instance, pixel values of a portion of the other display element that is adjacent to an edge of the display element may be determined. Using the determined pixel values, a visualization scheme is generated that emulates a visual effect (e.g., a blur effect). The determined visualization scheme is then applied to the display element. This causes the display element to appear semi-transparent such that the colors of the other display element appear to be behind the display element, thereby creating an effect that the display element is overlaid on top of the other display element.

A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel, a parallax barrier, an acquisition section, a memory, and a controller. The display panel is configured to display a parallax image and emit image light corresponding to the parallax image. The parallax barrier includes a surface configured to define a direction of image light. The acquisition section is configured to acquire positional data indicating eye positions from a detection device which is configured to detect eye positions based on photographed images which are acquired from a camera which is configured to image user's eyes. The memory is configured to store the positional data which are acquired by the acquisition section. The controller is configured to output predicted eye positions based on the positional data stored in the memory, and cause the display panel to display the parallax image, based on the predicted eye positions. The controller is configured to generate a left-eye image and a right-eye image based on a first predicted eye position, and combine the left-eye image and the right-eye image into a parallax image based on a second predicted eye position, which is different from the first predicted eye position.

This application discloses an image rendering method in a panoramic application. In the method, a foreground image is first rendered, and then a panoramic image used as a background is rendered. A pixel corresponding to the foreground image has a corresponding depth value. When the panoramic image is rendered, content corresponding to the panoramic image may be rendered at a pixel corresponding to a depth standard value based on a depth value of a pixel on a canvas. The depth reference value is a depth value of a pixel other than the pixel corresponding to the foreground image. In this way, repeated rendering is avoided for an overlapping part between the foreground image and the panoramic image, which not only reduces resource wastes and rendering overheads, but also improves rendering efficiency.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to device and method for processing frames. For example, a buffer of a device is arranged to store a plurality of rendered frames rendered at a frame rendering rate and a time stamp for each of rendered frames. A compositor of a device is arranged to obtain a timestamp of a synchronisation signal for synchronising the display of frames with a display refresh rate. In response to obtaining a timestamp of a synchronisation signal, a compositor is arranged to trigger access to a buffer to obtain two rendered frames having timestamps closest to a timestamp of a synchronisation signal. An interpolator of a device is arranged to generate an interpolated rendered frame for display by performing an interpolation operation using two rendered frames. An interpolation operation takes into account the difference between timestamps of each of two rendered frames and a timestamp of a synchronisation signal.
