DVD Player Displays 2D Movies in 3D 219
Anonymous Writer writes "A company called Dynamic Digital Depth that wants to bring 3D television and movies to the mainstream claims to have developed a system that allows you to watch current 2D DVDs in 3D.
They claim the TriDef DVD Player uses image analysis methods, developed by the company for their 3D content conversion service, to convert 2D video to 3D in real-time based on 3D depth cues in the original movie.
It is the same company that produced the TriDef Movie Player software for the Sharp Actius R3D3 autostereo display notebook.

To reconstruct the 3D scene generating the 2D images is effectively to solve vision, in its entirety. In real time, no less. So I would guess that they're doing something quite simple.
They're putting drop-shadows on objects in the foreground.
