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

The invention relates to a method and a device for displaying at least part of a person's body with a modified appearance by providing first image data representative of the unmodified appearance of said body part, second image data representative of a modification in the appearance of said body part and position data representative of the position and spatial orientation of said body part, wherein said first and second image data are linked to produce and to display third image data representative of said modified appearance of said body part, in dependence on said position data, such that said displayed modified appearance follows changes in the position of said body part in a dynamic A method and a device for displaying at least part of a person's body, for example the head (), with a modified appearance by providing first image data representatitve of the unmodified appearance of the body part, second image data representatitve of a modification in the appearance of the body part () and position data representative of the position and spatial orientation of the body part (). The first and second image data are linked to produce and to display third image data representative of the modified appearance of the body part, in dependence on the position data, such that the displayed, modified appearance follows changes in the position of the body part in a dynamic manner. For linking the first and second image data a virtual image data space () is created comprising an aspect or aspects () of the appearance of the body part () to be modified. The second image data comprise virtual image data elements (), and the modification of the appearance of the body part () is provided by modifying the virtual image data space () using virtual image data elements of the second image data, wherein the virtual image data space thus formed and the first image data not comprised thereof are linked to produce the third image data in dependence on the position data.
