Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A contents reproduction device can concurrently switch a video image and a graphics image from 2D to 3D. A contents reproduction device includes a program execution unit that outputs a graphics image used for 2D to a left graphics plane and outputs a graphics image used for 3D to left and right graphics planes; an AV reproduction unit outputs a video image used for 2D to the left video plane and outputs a video image used for 3D to the left and right video planes; and a switch unit outputs a first synthesized image of images stored at the left video plane and the left graphics plane at the 2D reproduction time and switches to output a second synthesized image of images stored at the right video plane and the right graphics plane and the first synthesized image at the 3D reproduction time.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A content reproducing apparatus comprising: a data acquiring portion that acquires a program and video data from a recording medium; a first video plane and a second video plane that store video images; a first graphics plane and a second graphics plane that store graphic images; a program executing portion that executes the program to generate the graphic images, and outputs the graphic image for 2D (dimension) output to the first graphics plane…
