A computer-implemented process for allowing a local user (100, 200, 300, 800) of a local mobile device (102, 202, 302, 802) to participate in a video conference session with a remote user (104, 204, 304, 804) of a remote mobile device (106, 206, 306, 806), wherein the local and remote mobile devices are interconnected by a network (108, 208, 308, 808), and the local mobile device (102, 202, 302, 802) comprises a local display screen (114, 214, 314, 814), a front video capture device (116, 216, 316, 816) that is pointed toward the local user (100, 200, 300, 800) and captures live video of the local user, and a rear video capture device (118, 218, 318, 818) that is pointed away from the local user (100, 200, 300, 800) and captures live video of a scene that is in front of the local user (100, 200, 300, 800), comprising: using the local mobile device (102, 202, 302, 802) to perform the following process actions: receiving live video over the network from the remote mobile device; displaying the received live video on the entire local display screen; upon the local user selecting either the live video of the local user, or the live video of the scene that is in front of the local user, transmitting the selected live video over the network to the remote mobile device; resizing the selected live video as necessary to fit within an inset sector (234, 834, 844) on the local display screen; displaying the resized selected live video within the inset sector; whenever the local user (100, 200, 300, 800) makes a first digital annotation (238, 338, 838) on the received live video, displaying the first digital annotation (234, 834, 844) on top of the received live video, and transmitting the first digital annotation (234, 834, 844) over the network to the remote mobile device (106, 206, 306, 806), recognizing and tracking objects that exist in the received live video; and anchoring the first digital annotation (238, 338, 838) to said objects, wherein said anchoring allows the first digital annotation to track said objects and maintain its orientation relative to said objects if said objects move; and whenever the remote user (104, 204, 304, 804) makes a second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) on the selected live video, receiving the second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) over the network from the remote mobile device, resizing the received second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) as necessary to fit within the inset sector (234, 834, 844), and displaying the resized received second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) on top of the resized selected live video. receiving live video over the network from the remote mobile device; displaying the received live video on the entire local display screen; upon the local user selecting either the live video of the local user, or the live video of the scene that is in front of the local user, transmitting the selected live video over the network to the remote mobile device; resizing the selected live video as necessary to fit within an inset sector (234, 834, 844) on the local display screen; displaying the resized selected live video within the inset sector; whenever the local user (100, 200, 300, 800) makes a first digital annotation (238, 338, 838) on the received live video, displaying the first digital annotation (234, 834, 844) on top of the received live video, and transmitting the first digital annotation (234, 834, 844) over the network to the remote mobile device (106, 206, 306, 806), recognizing and tracking objects that exist in the received live video; and anchoring the first digital annotation (238, 338, 838) to said objects, wherein said anchoring allows the first digital annotation to track said objects and maintain its orientation relative to said objects if said objects move; and whenever the remote user (104, 204, 304, 804) makes a second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) on the selected live video, receiving the second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) over the network from the remote mobile device, resizing the received second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) as necessary to fit within the inset sector (234, 834, 844), and displaying the resized received second digital annotation (242, 342, 842) on top of the resized selected live video.
