METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUGMENTING IMAGES CAPTURED USING EYEWEAR FOR ACQUIRING AN IMAGE PRESENTED TO A VIEWER ON AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

A method, apparatus and system to provide enhancements to body worn devices, such as but not limited to helmets, headwear and eyewear, for acquiring an image where a camera's position and orientation is adjustable relative to the users desired line of sight and the captured image is viewed on an external remote electronic device, such as but not limited to, a handheld computing device (e.g., a smart phone) or a wearable electronic device (e.g., a smart watch) by means of a communication means, such as but not limited to, wireless communication. The present technology can utilize image recognition logic configured or configurable to analyze image data representing a real world scene, to recognize and analyze particular shapes and/or colors, and to incorporate as required an additional image into the real world scene as seen by the user by means of augmented reality.
