Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for providing pseudo 3D user interface effects in a digital camera with existing lens distortion correction hardware. A distortion map normally used to correct captured images instead alters a displayed user interface object image to support production of a “pseudo 3D” version of the object image via production of at least one modified image. A blending map also selectively mixes the modified image with a second image to produce a distorted blended image. A set or series of such images may be produced automatically or at user direction to generate static or animated effects in-camera without a graphics accelerator, resulting in hardware cost savings and extended battery life.
