Patent ID: 7924295

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: an image display device having a display screen; an image processor connected to said image display device that processes a data set representing a 3D subject to produce a 3D representation of said 3D subject at said display device in a first display region of two separate display regions in said display screen; an interaction module connected to said image processor, allowing an operator to interactively displace, rotate or zoom said 3D representation of said 3D subject on said image display device; and a mirror surface generation module connected to said image processor and communicating with said interaction module, that automatically generates, in response to at least one mirror surface freely defined by said operator via said interaction module, at least one mirror image, defined by said mirror surface, of said 3D representation of said 3D subject to be displayed with said mirror surface in said first display region, and that also causes said at least one mirror image to be displayed duplicatively, but without said mirror surface at said image display device in a second of said display regions in said display screen.
