Stereoscopic 3D in VR can bring another level of immersion experience to viewers by stereo vision and depth perception. However, the stereoscopic 3D 360-degree VR contents are very limited nowadays. In this project, we are going to develop the image processing technologies for stereoscopic 3D generation for 360-degree VR from 2D 360-degree VR contents. The key deliverables will include the novel algorithms and world-first ASIC for stereoscopic 360-degree content generation for VR. The project technologies can widely adopt in different application areas, including gaming, movie, education, virtual tour, medical, etc.
