Abstract:
Devices and a method are provided for providing feedback to a user. In one implementation, the method comprises obtaining a plurality of images from an image sensor. The image sensor is configured to be positioned for movement with the user's head. The method further comprises monitoring the images, and determining whether relative motion occurs between a first portion of a scene captured in the plurality of images and other portions of the scene captured in the plurality of images. If the first portion of the scene moves less than at least one other portion of the scene, the method comprises obtaining contextual information from the first portion of the scene. The method further comprises providing the feedback to the user based on at least part of the contextual information.
