ABSTRACT:
A method for processing a captured image is provided. The method includes the steps of sensing the position of an eye and processing the captured image using the sensed eye position. In one embodiment, the step of processing involves detecting a face within the image, and applying a graphical object at a location within the image and relative to the detected face. The graphical object may be a speech bubble.
