The body is the controller
Magic Mirror™ offers a range of exciting interaction modes that help to make the system suitable for people of all abilities
- Augmented Reality: See yourself reflected in Magic Mirror’s video image with live camera mode displaying your real-time image and environment. Virtual objects and interactive content will appear around you augmenting the experience, interact to bring your surroundings to life.
- Inset: Inset mode is the same concept as green screen, only here there is no need for a green screen. Inset mode removes the background environment and place users into virtual play environments. This is great for removing clutter and helping users focus on the content and activity.
- Shadow: For those that do not like to see themselves in the videos image, Shadow mode helps to reduce anxiety by rendering the user image into the scene as a dark filled shadow. Shadow mode also removes the background environment and place users into a virtual play environment.
- Avatar: Take control of on-screen avatars and watch the characters come to life with the movements you make. Open up a new world of kinaesthetic fun in 3D space and explore spatial awareness, proprioception and enhance your ability to sense the position, location, orientation and movement of the body and its parts.
- Facilitator Mode: When working with a single user it is possible to set Magic Mirror™ to only track one user. This means caregivers can appear in the scene to support a user without interacting with the content. All interaction will be attributable to the user.
