Method and a device for displaying at least part of the human body with a modified appearance thereof

A device for displaying at least a part of a person's body with a modified appearance, comprising:

• first means for providing first image data representative of an unmodified appearance of said body part;
• second means for providing second image data representative of a modification in the appearance of said body part, said second means are arranged for providing second image data having the form of virtual image data elements;
• position determining means for providing position data representative of the position and spatial orientation of said body part;
• processing means for electronically processing said first and second image data in dependence on said position data, to produce third image data representative of said modified appearance of said body part, said processing means are arranged for creating a virtual image data space comprising an aspect of said body part to be modified, for adding to said virtual image data space virtual image data elements and for linking said virtual image data space thus formed and said first image data not comprised by said image data space to produce third image data representative of said position and spatial orientation of said body part to thereby allow said displayed modified appearance to follow variations in said position and spatial orientation of said body part in a dynamic manner;
• and
• means for displaying said third image data produced by the processing means.

A computer-readable storage medium, comprising:

• virtual image data elements representing a predetermined image of a body part including positional and spatial orientation of said body part;
• additional data, said virtual image data elements and said additional data forming image data representative of the body part including said positional and spatial orientation of said body part;
• and
• a program configured to modify the appearance of said body part by modifying said virtual image elements of said image data including said positional and spatial orientation of said body part to thereby allow said modified appearance to follow variations in the positional orientation of said body part in a dynamic manner.
