Abstract
A system configured to display autostereoscopic video (AV) may determine a depth setting for displaying the AV based on at least one of user parameters or device parameters, and may proceed to display the AV on a display based on the depth setting. In one embodiment the system may try to obtain user parameters before relying on device parameters. User parameters may be available from user profiles. For example, facial recognition may be used to determine if a user profile exists for a user. If a user profile is determined not to exist for the user, then the system may sense a distance from the display to the viewer, and may proceed to determine the depth setting based on the distance and device characteristics. Device characteristics may identify the manufacturer/model of the system, the type/size of display on which the AV will be viewed, the abilities of the system, etc.
