System and Method for Enabling Mirror Video Chat Using a Wearable Display Device
First Claim
1. A method of transferring information between users, the method comprising:
- detecting, using an image capturing device associated with a wearable communication device, an image reflecting surface;
detecting, using a processing device, a boundary of the image reflecting surface;
providing a tactile signal to the wearable communication device in response to a sensory detection signal associated with a movement direction of an image of a first user of the users reflected from the image reflecting surface;
selecting an area of the image reflecting surface using a first image defining gesture, the first image defining gesture defining a portion of a first image within the boundary of the image reflecting surface;
generating a control command that crops the portion of the first image in response to a second image defining gesture; and
displaying, using a display device associated with the wearable communication device, the portion of the first image as an overlay on a second image to a second user of the users.

Abstract
A method of exchanging audio-visual communication information between users includes detecting using an image capturing device associated with a wearable communication device, a mirror or image reflecting surface disposed in an environment of a first user, detecting a boundary of the mirror or image reflecting surface in response to the mirror being detected in the environment of the first user, selecting a portion of a first image displayed on the mirror or image reflecting surface within the boundary of the mirror or image reflecting surface, and displaying the portion of the first image as an overlay on a second image to a second user. A corresponding system and computer-readable device are also disclosed.

19. A computer-readable device storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, perform operations comprising:
-
detecting an image reflecting surface using an image capturing device, the image capturing device being associated with a wearable communication device; detecting a boundary of the image reflecting surface; providing a tactile signal to the wearable communication device in response to a sensory detection signal associated with a movement direction of an image of a first user reflected from the image reflecting surface; selecting an area of the image reflecting surface using a first image defining gesture, the first image defining gesture defining a portion of a first image within the first boundary of the image reflecting surface; generating a control command that crops the portion of the first image in response to a second image defining gesture; and displaying the portion of the first image as an overlay on a second image to a second user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
