8. A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory medium that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the following:
-
receive a video conferencing image, wherein the image has a foreground and a background; select at least one dominant foreground color; identify a new background, wherein the new background has at least one dominant background color matching the dominant foreground color; and replace the background with the new background. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for visual conditioning for augmented-reality-assisted video conferencing, comprising:
-
separating a video conferencing image into a foreground and a first background, wherein separation results in a foreground having at least one segmentation; deriving a drawing area around the segmentation; designing one or more textures to be rendered in the drawing area; selecting a second background; and combining the foreground, the one or more textures, the drawing area, and the second background to form a composite image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
