Three dimensional [3D] image data and auxiliary graphical data are combined for rendering on a 3D display (30) by detecting depth values occurring in the 3D image data, and setting auxiliary depth values for the auxiliary graphical data (31) adaptively in dependence of the detected depth values. The 3D image data and the auxiliary graphical data at the auxiliary depth value are combined based on the depth values of the 3D image data. First an area of attention (32) in the 3D image data is detected. A depth pattern for the area of attention is determined, and the auxiliary depth values are set in dependence of the depth pattern.

Methods and systems are provided for determining a posture of a user of an Information Handling System (IHS). One or more cameras of the IHS are utilized to generate a two-dimensional image of the user as they operate the IHS. Landmarks that correspond to physical features of the user are identified through processing of the two-dimensional image generated using the cameras. A time-of-flight sensor of the IHS is utilized to generate a three-dimensional image of the user. The identified physical feature landmarks of the user are overlayed onto the three-dimensional image, thus allowing distances from the IHS to each of the landmarks to be determined. Based on the overlay of the physical feature landmarks onto the three-dimensional image a posture of the user relative to the IHS is determined. The posture may be scored based on the degree to which the user's posture deviates from an ergonomic posture.
