  • Patent number: 10187558
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a lighting system for modifying visual perception of an image. In one embodiment, the lighting system includes a display screen and a frame that is designed to be reversibly coupled around the display screen. The frame includes a first light source and a second light source positioned about a perimeter of the frame. The first light source provides key light and the second light source provides fill light. The lighting system also includes a processor operatively connected to the frame to individually control the light intensity, temperature, or brightness of the first and second light sources. The lighting system also may include a camera disposed adjacent to the display screen to capture images. In this embodiment, the processor is connected to the camera and the processor automatically enhances the captured images and displays the enhanced images as a mirror reflection on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 9521332
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a lighting system for modifying visual perception of an image. In one embodiment, the lighting system includes a mirror having a display and a lighting system. The lighting system may have a key light above the display and a fill light below the display. The lighting system provides frontal lighting to the targeted subject with the key light shaping and defining the targeted subject, and the fill light softening the shadows and creating the illusion of a glow. Further, the key light and fill light may be of the same or different intensities.
