==VIRTUAL SELFIE STICK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17851448 titled 'VIRTUAL SELFIE STICK

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method for generating a virtual selfie stick image. The method involves using the optical sensor of a device to capture an original self-portrait image of a user's face. The user is then guided to move the device at arm's length around their face within a limited range at various poses. The image data captured by the optical sensor at these poses is accessed and used to generate a virtual selfie stick self-portrait image based on the original image.

* The method involves using the optical sensor of a device to capture a self-portrait image.
* The user is guided to move the device at arm's length around their face within a limited range at various poses.
* Image data captured by the optical sensor at these poses is used to generate a virtual selfie stick self-portrait image.
* The virtual selfie stick image is based on the original self-portrait image and the image data captured during the poses.

== Potential Applications ==
* Selfie apps and camera features on smartphones and other devices.
* Social media platforms and photo-sharing apps.
* Virtual reality and augmented reality applications.

== Problems Solved ==
* Eliminates the need for a physical selfie stick, providing a virtual alternative.
* Allows users to capture self-portrait images from various angles and poses without assistance.
* Provides a more immersive and interactive selfie experience.

== Benefits ==
* Convenience and portability as no physical selfie stick is required.
* Increased flexibility in capturing self-portrait images from different angles and poses.
* Enhanced user experience with interactive guidance and virtual selfie stick functionality.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method for generating a virtual selfie stick image is described. In one aspect, the method includes generating, at a device, an original self-portrait image with an optical sensor of the device, the optical sensor directed at a face of a user of the device, the device being held at an arm length from the face of the user, displaying, on a display of the device, an instruction guiding the user to move the device at the arm length about the face of the user within a limited range at a plurality of poses, accessing, at the device, image data generated by the optical sensor at the plurality of poses, and generating a virtual selfie stick self-portrait image based on the original self-portrait image and the image data.
