Abstract:
1. A method for operating a system having a monitor, a camera, and a processor, so as to display a mirror-mimicking image on the monitor, by performing non-ordered steps comprising: obtaining a digital image from a camera; flipping the image about a vertical axis so as to reverse right and left sides of the image; applying a transformation mapping to the image to modify the image such that it appears to mimic a reflection of a mirror; resizing the image to reduce variations caused by changes in object's distance to the camera; displaying the image on the monitor after performing the flipping, transformation mapping, and resizing; wherein the non-ordered steps are performed on a series of images of a live video feed from the camera; determining distance to a user appearing in the live video feed; and, varying rate at which the non-ordered steps are performed on the series of images according to the distance.
