Abstract

A method comprising receiving information indicative of an object sharing input, receiving video information from a camera module that is configured to have a field of capture that corresponds with a field of view through a see through display, identifying at least one object representation comprised by the video information, the object representation being a visual representation of an object that within the field of view of the see through display, causing display of the video information on a different display, determining that the video information fails to comprise the object representation, and terminating display of the video information on the different display based, at least in part, on the determination that the video information fails to comprise the object representation is disclosed.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the memory includes computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform:

receipt of information indicative of another camera enablement input;

receipt of other video information from the camera module

determination that the sharing threshold duration has elapsed since the receipt of the other camera enablement input; and

preclusion of causation of display of the other video information on the different display.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the different display is comprised by a vehicle, and wherein the memory includes computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform:

determination that the different display has become, at least partially, within a driver field of view;

termination of display of the video information based, at least in part, on the determination that the different display has become within the driver field of view;

determination that the different display has become beyond the driver field of view; and

causation of display of the video information on the different display based, at least in part, on the determination that the different display has become beyond the driver field of view.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the see through display is window on a side of a vehicle, the different display is a different see through display that is a window on an opposite side of the vehicle, and causation of display of the video information on the different display comprises:

determination of a mirror image representation of the video information; and

causation of display of the mirror image representation of the video information.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the different display is a see through display that is a window, and the causation of display of the video information comprises causation of display of the video information at a position on the window, and wherein the memory includes computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform:

determination that the window has changed from a closed configuration to a partially opened configuration;

determination of a different position on the window based, at least in part, on the partially opened configuration; and

causation of display of the video information at the different position on the window.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises the see through display.

10. A method comprising:

receiving information indicative of an object sharing input;
