Abstract:
A method of providing an augmented reality image comprises recording a basic image including a subject and a first background using a recording device, extracting a subject image from the basic image, and providing the extracted subject image to a display device for combining with a second background. At A the sending person using the app to record a moving image of their own head—ie a video—which is separated from the background by the app (the background being automatically discarded). The image is then sent to a recipient who, at B, sees the head speak to them either on their desktop or in the camera view of the smart phone/tablet if they so choose.
