SVG extensions for 3D displays: Enabling SVG on auto-stereosciopic displays

In the past few years, several technologies have been commercially deployed for viewing video and games on television, computer or mobile displays, and standardization bodies such as MPEG or ITU have produced several technologies to deliver and compress video content for such systems. With the increasing adoption of 3D displays in the consumer market, the question arises whether standard multimedia technologies, as used on Internet, are fitted for stereoscopic displays. In this paper, we present a stereoscopic-aware multimedia system handling 2D and 3D content with stereoscopic effects and discuss the extensions introduced in SVG to properly address depth effects.
