Answer 1

Problem has been solved. Source of code is HERE. It's easier than I thought:

HTML:

<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel container slide">
<div class="carousel-inner">
        <div class="active item one"></div>
        <div class="item two"></div>
        <div class="item three"></div>
</div>
</div>

CSS:

.carousel { z-index: -99; } /* keeps this behind all content */
.carousel .item {
    position: fixed; 
    width: 100%; height: 100%;
    -webkit-transition: opacity 1s;
    -moz-transition: opacity 1s;
    -ms-transition: opacity 1s;
    -o-transition: opacity 1s;
    transition: opacity 1s;

}
.carousel .one {
    background: url(assets/img/slide3blur.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
}
.carousel .two {
    background: url(assets/img/slide2blur.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
}
.carousel .three {
    background: url(assets/img/slide1blur.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
}
.carousel .active.left {
    left:0;
    opacity:0;
    z-index:2;
}

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('.carousel').carousel({interval: 7000});
  });
</script>

Answer 2

I would add to mbigun's reply to use this css to keep the images from jerking:

.carousel { z-index: -99; } /* keeps this behind all content */
.carousel .item {
position: fixed; 
 opacity: 0;
 left:0 !important;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s;
-moz-transition: opacity 0.5s;
-ms-transition: opacity 0.5s;
-o-transition: opacity 0.5s;
transition: opacity 0.5s;
}
.carousel .one {
background: url(../images/layout/bgimages/homepage1.jpg);
background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
}
.carousel .two {
background: url(../images/layout/bgimages/homepage2.jpg);
background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
}
.carousel .three {
background: url(../images/layout/bgimages/homepage3.jpg);
background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
}

.carousel .active {
opacity: 1 !important;
}

.carousel .left {
opacity: 1 !important;
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s  !important;
-moz-transition: opacity 0.5s  !important;
-ms-transition: opacity 0.5s  !important;
-o-transition: opacity 0.5s  !important;
transition: opacity 0.5s  !important;
}
