Abstract:
An imaging system and a method for producing extended-reality images for a display apparatus. The imaging system includes camera and processor. The processor is configured to: control camera to capture image of real-world environment; analyse captured image to identify first image segment representing input device and to determine location of at least one actionable area of input device in first image segment; determine at least one functional element to be presented for the actionable area, the functional element being indicative of at least one of: functionality of the at least one actionable area, status of the at least one actionable area; and process captured image to generate extended-reality image in which the functional element is virtually superimposed over the actionable area of input device or a virtual representation of the actionable area of input device.
