Abstract

A wristworn videoconferencing system is described. In particular, a wearable camera with viewfinder function incorporated into a wristwatch display screen that also electronically simulates the hour hand and minute hand of a traditional wristwatch, results in a device that resembles a fashionably modern timepiece, but which also has the possibly hidden videoconferencing capability. The electronically simulated hands showing the time of day may be overlayed onto the live video of the viewfinder function, or on live video received from a remote site, or a combination of both live video feeds. Pressing a SECRET button causes the electronically displayed clockface with electronically simulated hour hand and minute hand to become opaque and block the live video from being seen. Pressing an OPEN button returns the clockface to a transparent mode, allowing a videoconference to continue.
