Abstract

A system or method includes a platform to allow users to coordinate images captured by a separated worn camera with images captured by a held camera, displaying such images at real-time to a user through a user interface on the held camera or a user interface on a separate device. The separate worn camera is contemplated to provide a separate image feed to provide one or more augmentations to an image captured by the held camera.

Claims (18)

1. A method of engaging a viewer in augmented reality using; a first electronic device including a first camera and a display, a second electronic device including a second camera, the method comprising:

receiving a viewer interest parameter;

receiving a first image from the first camera;

identifying a visual reference falling within the viewer interest parameter;

receiving a second image from the second camera, wherein the second camera is configured to focus on the visual reference;

determining a context of the second image within the context of the first image;

displaying the first image, wherein the first image includes a superimposed interactive element;

receiving a user selection of the superimposed interactive element,

displaying the second image and the context of the second image within a context of the first image via the display of the first electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second image and the context of the second image are composited into the first image.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the contextual significance of the second image comprises a superimposition of context data on the first image.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a memory, wherein the memory is configured to perform the steps of:

storing the second image and the context of the second image for a predetermined time period;

receiving a request to view the second image and the context of the second image within the predetermined time period; and

superimposing the second image and the context of the second image onto the first image via the display of the first electronic device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein superimposing the second image and the context of the second image is rendered in substantially real-time.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of saving a superimposed image to a persistent storage medium for later retrieval.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the memory is a looping memory.
