Abstract
A tilt-based look around effect image enhancement method that enables two-dimensional images to be depth enhanced and displayed for example from a different point of view based on the tilt or orientation, and/or movement of the viewing device itself. Embodiments may further alter or otherwise utilize different parallax maps to apply depth to the image based on the display type, e.g., two-dimensional or stereoscopic display, and may dynamically utilize both algorithms on a display capable of both types of display. In addition, embodiments may display information foreign to the image when portions of the image are exposed during the look around effect, including advertisements, game information, hyperlinks or any other data not originally in the image.
