23. A method for generating a composite image, comprising:
-
storing a video having a plurality of images; selecting a first image from the images; selecting a second image from the images, the second image being different from the first image; displaying the first image on a first screen of a portable computing device; displaying the second image on a second screen of the portable computing device; reflecting the second image onto the first screen to form a composite image. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method comprising:
-
storing a video having a plurality of images; selecting a first image from the images; displaying the first image on a first screen of a computing device; reflecting at least a portion of the first image onto a second screen to form a composite image. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
