Abstract

An image reflecting and capturing assembly for self-imaging includes a frame that defines an inner field. The inner field is reflective. A power module, a microprocessor, a plurality of microphones, a plurality of cameras and a plurality of lights are coupled to and positioned in the frame. The microprocessor is operationally coupled to the power module. The microphones, cameras and lights are operationally coupled to the microprocessor. The lights are configured to illuminate a user positioned proximate to the frame. A user positioned substantially perpendicular to the inner field is positioned to view a reflection of the user. The microphones are configured to capture sounds produced proximate to the frame. The cameras are configured to capture still and moving images of a user positioned proximate to the frame.
