A method for manipulating a stereoscopic image, comprising receiving an original stereoscopic image including a left image and a right image; identifying one or more objects; determining actual object sizes and actual object locations in both the left and right images; determining original perceived three-dimensional object location and new perceived three-dimensional object locations for the identified one or more objects; determining a size magnification factors and location displacement values for each of the one or more objects; generating a new stereoscopic image by changing the actual object sizes and the actual object locations responsive to the corresponding size magnification factors and location displacement values; and storing the new stereoscopic image in a processor-accessible memory system.
