An apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- a processor configured for controlling the display to present a presentation on the display including a reference image of an object;
- and
- a camera configured for communicating a virtually real time image of the object to the processor to cause the processor to change a visual appearance of the presentation on the display including the reference image of the object according to the virtually real time image of the object taken by the camera, wherein the processor compares the image of the object to at least one reference image in a library of reference images using image recognition to determine how to change, on the display, the visual presentation of the reference image from a visual presentation of the reference image as established in the library.
