System and method for enabling mirror video chat using a wearable display device

A system that transfers information between users, the system comprising:

• an image capturing device associated with a wearable communication device;
• a processing device;
• a memory device storing instructions that, when executed by the processing device, perform operations comprising:
• detecting an image reflecting surface;
• detecting a boundary of the image reflecting surface;
• detecting a movement direction of an image of a first user reflected from the image reflecting surface;
• providing a tactile signal to the wearable communication device in response to a detection signal associated with the movement direction of the image of the first user reflected from the image reflecting surface;
• selecting an area of the image reflecting surface using an image defining gesture, the image defining gesture defining a portion of a first image within the boundary of the image reflecting surface;
• generating a control command that crops the portion of the first image in response to the image defining gesture;
• and
• removing a bright spot from the first image using a comparison of a brightness associated with a region of the first image to an average brightness associated with the first image;
• and
• a display device associated with the wearable communication device, the display device displaying the portion of the first image as an overlay on a second image to a second user.

A computer-readable device storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, perform operations comprising:

• detecting an image reflecting surface using an image capturing device, the image capturing device being associated with a wearable communication device;
• detecting a boundary of the image reflecting surface;
• detecting a movement direction of an image of a first user reflected from the image reflecting surface;
• providing a tactile signal to the wearable communication device in response to a sensory detection signal associated with the movement direction of the image of the first user reflected from the image reflecting surface;
• selecting an area of the image reflecting surface using an image defining gesture, the image defining gesture defining a portion of a first image within the boundary of the image reflecting surface;
• generating a control command that crops the portion of the first image in response to the image defining gesture;
• displaying the portion of the first image as an overlay on a second image to a second user;
• and
• removing a bright spot from the first image using a comparison of brightness associated with a region of the first image to an average brightness associated with the first image.
