(under subclass 276) Subject matter wherein a two-dimensional image is projected onto a three-dimensional surface so as to give the illusion that the image has a third dimension.
(1) Note. Systems and methods wherein images are mapped from two dimensions onto a three-dimensional surface and there is also more than nominal computer s:graphics processing of the transformed image data, appropriate classification is in Class 395, Information Processing System Organization, subclass 125.
(2) Note. In order to be classified in this subclass the conversion of two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional surface should include substantial image analysis*.
