Abstract

A system, a method, and a computer-program product for image and/or video processing are disclosed. A template to be used in conjunction with a content to be captured by an optical device is provided. The optical device includes a viewfinder mechanism. The content is captured using the optical device. The captured content and the template in the viewfinder mechanism of the optical device are combined. A final content containing the captured content and the template is generated.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

providing a template to be used in conjunction with a content to be captured by an optical device, wherein the optical device includes a viewfinder mechanism;

capturing the content using the optical device;

combining the captured content and the template in the viewfinder mechanism of the optical device;

generating a final content containing the captured content and the template.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the template includes a static image, a video, an animation, a user-editable content, and any combination thereof.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the template is a digital template.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the template is a physical template configured to be attached to the viewfinder mechanism of the optical device.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the generating further comprises

previewing at least one of the captured content, the template, and a combination of the captured content and the template using the optical device.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the generating further comprises

editing at least one of the captured content, the template, and a combination of the captured content and the template using the optical device.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the generating further comprises

processing at least one of the captured content, the template, and a combination of the captured content and the template using a remote computer.
