Methods are described for interactively transforming flat, monoscopic images into stereoscopic 3D image pairs. These methods assume that the user is beginning with a single existing image, and that it is desirable to preserve as much as possible of the original, altering it minimally to create a stereoscopic version. Utilizing binocular vision and a stereoscopic display during the transformation process, the monocular depth cues contained in most images can be used as guides to `replace' lost stereoscopic depth.
