Abstract
Apparatus comprises a camera configured to capture images of a user in a scene; a depth detector configured to capture depth representations of the scene, the depth detector comprising an emitter configured to emit a non-visible signal; a mirror arranged to reflect at least some of the non-visible signal emitted by the emitter to one or more features within the scene that would otherwise be occluded by the user and to reflect light from the one or more features to the camera; a pose detector configured to detect a position and orientation of the mirror relative to at least one of the camera and depth detector; and a scene generator configured to generate a three-dimensional representation of the scene in dependence on the images captured by the camera and the depth representations captured by the depth detector and the pose of the mirror detected by the pose detector.
