Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: capturing image data with a camera in an electronic device that has a planar surface to which a camera accessory with reflector structures is coupled to reflect light for the camera, wherein the camera has a field of view; with support structures, holding the electronic device such that the planar surface extends vertically; with a component in the support structures, projecting an image of a virtual keyboard on a surface, wherein the reflector structures comprise a first reflector that points a first portion of the field of view of the camera towards the virtual keyboard and a second reflector that points a second portion of the field of view of the camera towards a face of a user of the virtual keyboard; and displaying the image data on a display that is mounted on the planar surface, wherein the first and second reflectors point the camera in respective first and second off-axis directions relative to a surface normal associated with the planar surface, and wherein the first and second off-axis directions are at an angle between 5° and 70° relative to the surface normal associated with the planar surface.
