Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: receive an image of a user in an environment; detect an object in the image; perform one of a plurality of user-selectable processes associated with the object, each of the plurality of user-selectable processes being associated with hiding a visual characteristic of the object in the image; and after the one of the plurality of user-selectable processes has been performed, transmit data representing the image.

Abstract: Apparatus comprises a camera configured to capture images of a user in a scene;a depth detector configured to capture depth representations of the scene, the depth detector comprising an emitter configured to emit a non-visible signal; a mirror arranged to reflect at least some of the non-visible signal emitted by the emitter to one or more features within the scene that would otherwise be occluded by the user and to reflect light from the one or more features to the camera; a pose detector configured to detect a position and orientation of the mirror relative to at least one of the camera and depth detector; and a scene generator configured to generate a three-dimensional representation of the scene in dependence on the images captured by the camera and the depth representations captured by the depth detector and the pose of the mirror detected by the pose detector.

Abstract: A method of generating an image includes receiving a video stream, the video stream having a two-dimensional video of a three-dimensional scene captured by a video camera; determining a mapping between locations in the two-dimensional video of the scene and locations in a three-dimensional representation of the scene, the mapping being determined based on a known parameter of the video camera and a known size of a feature in the three-dimensional scene; generating a three-dimensional graphical representation of the scene based on the determined mapping; determining a virtual camera angle from which the three-dimensional graphical representation of the scene is to be viewed; rendering an image corresponding to the graphical representation of the scene viewed from the determined virtual camera angle, and outputting the rendered image for display.
