The keeper's note

Persona-based creative image customization.

Abstract

An image management system includes a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory storing an image customization software code, and a database of personas assumable by a user, the database communicatively coupled to the image customization software code. The hardware processor executes the image customization software code to receive a wireless signal associating a persona stored in the database with the user, receive a digital image including an image of the user, and detect the image of the user in the digital image. The hardware processor further executes the image customization software code to obtain the persona from the database, and output a customized image to be rendered on a display, where the persona modifies the image of the user in the customized image.

Background

BACKGROUND(1) Augmented reality (AR), in which real world objects and/or environments are digitally modified or replaced with virtual imagery, offer the opportunity to provide interactive experiences that are more immersive and entertaining. AR can be used to modify images of real world objects through augmentation, i.e., a user can see the real world through clear lenses with virtual projections on top. AR can be used to modify a real world image through augmentation, or through selective omission of a portion of an image of a real world object, where the view of the real-world comes from a headset mounted camera that is projected into VR space, so a user still sees much of the real world around them.SUMMARY(2) There are provided systems and methods for performing image customization using a persona, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.

Claims

1. A wireless device worn or carried by a first user in a venue including a wireless transmitter worn or carried by a second user, the wireless device comprising: a hardware processor; a system memory storing an image customization software code; a database of personas, the database communicatively coupled to the image customization software code; a display; and a camera; the hardware processor configured to execute the image customization software code to: wirelessly receive a signal transmitted by the wireless transmitter worn or carried by the second user, the signal being indicative of a persona to be assumed by the second user; associate the received signal indicative of the persona to be assumed by the second user with one of the personas stored in the database; obtain, using the camera of the wireless device, a digital image including an image of the second user; detect the image of the second user in the digital image; obtain the associated one of the personas to be assumed by the second user from the database; modify the image of the second user in the digital image using the associated one of the personas to be assumed by the second user to generate a customized image; and render, on the display of the wireless device for viewing by the first user, the customized image including the modified image of the second user. 9. A method for use by wireless device worn or carried by a first user in a venue including a wireless transmitter worn or carried by a second user, the wireless device having a hardware processor, a system memory storing an image customization software code, a database of personas communicatively coupled to the image customization software code, a display, and a camera, the method comprising: wirelessly receiving, by the image customization software code executed by the hardware processor, a signal transmitted by the wireless transmitter worn or carried by the second user, the signal being indicative of a persona to be assumed by the second user; associating, by the image customization software code executed by the hardware processor, the received signal indicative of the persona to be assumed by the second user with one of the personas stored in the database; obtaining, using the camera of the wireless device, a digital image including an image of the second user; detecting, by the image customization software code executed by the hardware processor, the image of the second user in the digital image; obtaining, by the image customization software code executed by the hardware processor, the associated one of the personas to be assumed by the second user from the database; modifying, by the image customization software code executed by the hardware processor, the image of the second user in the digital image using the associated one of the personas to be assumed by the second user to generate a customized image; and rendering, on the display of the wireless device for viewing by the first user, the customized image including the modified image of the second user.
