A stereoscopic image generation box, a stereoscopic image display method and a stereoscopic image display system are provided. The stereoscopic image generation box includes an image receiving and detecting unit, a depth information analysis unit, an image processing unit, a synthesis unit and a data transmission unit. The image receiving and detecting unit is used for receiving a two-dimensional image from an image source. The depth information analysis unit is used for obtaining a depth information according to the two-dimensional image. The image processing unit is used for converting the two-dimensional image into a left-eye image and a right-eye image according to the depth information. The synthesizing unit is used for synthesizing the left-eye image and the right-eye image to generate a stereoscopic image. The data transmission unit is used for outputting the stereoscopic image to a display, so that the display can directly display the stereoscopic image.

According to examples, a display system may include a head-mounted display (HMD) headset. The HMD may comprise at least one exterior-facing RBG camera mounted on a front face of the HMD and on a same visual plane of a user's eye. The at least one exterior-facing RBG camera may collects images for view synthesis. The HMD may include a processor, and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to provide view synthesis in accordance with a machine-learning (ML) based technique comprising at least one of the following: depth estimation, imaging to sharpening, forward splatting, disocclusion filtering, or fusion.

Provided are a three-dimensional display device, a three-dimensional display method, and a program capable of notifying a user of an event having a causal relationship with a damage. The three-dimensional display device (10) includes a memory (16) that stores a three-dimensional model of a structure, a damage displayed in the three-dimensional model, and an event that has a causal relationship with the damage; a display unit (26); and a processor (20). In the three-dimensional display device (10), the processor (20) causes the display unit (26) to display the three-dimensional model, superimpose the damage on the three-dimensional model and display the damage, and display the event having the causal relationship with the damage.
