The position of the user's head relative to display device is detected and the image is processed in response to a ‘point of view’ derived from the position of the user's head relative to the display device. A change in the position of the user's head relative to the display device may be detected and the image may be reprocessed in response to a revised ‘point of view’ derived from the change in position of the user's head relative to the display device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for remote point of view comprising: detecting a position of a viewer's head relative to a display device; receiving an image; and processing the image for display on the display device responsive to the detected position of the viewer's head relative to the display device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1 further comprising: detecting a change in the position of the viewer's head relative to the display device; and processing the image for display on the display device responsive to the detected change in position of the viewer's head relative to the display device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1, where processing the image for display on the display device further comprising rendering a scene, captured in the image, from a point of view derived from the detected position of the viewer's head relative to the display device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1, where the image includes a video stream received from any of an imaging device, a transmission medium, or a storage medium. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1, where the image comprises two or more images. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1, where the image is processed to represent a mirror image. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1, where the detected position of the viewer's head relative to the display device is represented by any of a horizontal angle, a vertical angle, a distance and a vector. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method for remote point of view of claim 1, where the image is captured by one or more stationary cameras. ### Claim 9 A system for remote point of view comprising: one or more processors; and memory containing instructions executable by the one or more processors to configure the system to: detect a position of a viewer's head relative to a display device; receive an image; and process the image for display on the display device responsive to the detected position of the viewer's head relative to the display device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, the memory further containing instructions executable by the one or more processors to configure the system to: detect a change in the position of the viewer's head relative to the display device; and further process the image for display on the display device responsive to the detected change in position of the viewer's head relative to the display device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, where processing the image for display on the display device further comprising rendering a scene, captured in the image, from a point of view derived from the detected position of the viewer's head relative to the display device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, further comprising any of an input/output interface, a head tracking device, one or more displays and one or more cameras. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, where the system is installable in a vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, where the image includes a video stream received from any of an imaging device, a transmission medium, or a storage medium. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, where the image comprises two or more images. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, where the image is processed to represent a mirror image. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The system for remote point of view of claim 9, where the image is received from one or more stationary cameras.
