Description

SPECIFICATIONS

Purpose: Being able to look straight at the audience through the mirror. You are viewing yourself as you look straight into the cell phone/computer camera. Prevents a person's eyes from wandering all over the place and increases confidence as you are recording knowing you are looking at yourself into the mirror while speaking.

List all parts of the Invention: These and other features of the instant video recording mirror will become more apparent to one skilled in the art from the prior Summary, and following Brief Description, and Claims when read in light of accompanying Detailed Drawings:

• • a. Clip (attached to camera: cell phone or computer)
  • b. Two way mirror

List of Advantages of your Invention

A feature of the present disclosure is its ability to allow yourself a focal point and obtain feedback being able to look at yourself while recording yourself or even taking a selfie. Many people with YouTube channels have a hard time looking straight at the pinhole camera and it is noticeable and distracting. Having a two-way mirror clipped over the pinhole camera allows you to look confidently at yourself and straight into the camera, thus straight to your viewers. This adds to the professionalism of recording and boosts the users confidence. Can also be used on the back of the camera (which usually has a better camera) but no ability to see yourself.

Brief Summary

A plastic or aluminum clip that clips onto a cell phone or computer. The plastic clip has a circular threaded housing that the centerpiece will be attached to. From that centerpiece a two way mirror piece will be attached by clips on both ends that can easily be removed for other styled mirrors to be placed in its place.

Basically, the idea, is a clip that attaches onto a cell phone that is configured to put a 2-way mirror over the camera lens on either side. That way, when one is filming a video of themselves, they will focus their eyes on the mirror to see their reflection and don't look like they are staring off into the distance.

In addition, the disclosed embodiment in the Figures, below are three different embodiments that are contemplated by the instant disclosure:

• • 1. A plastic or aluminum clip that clips onto a cell phone or computer. The plastic clip has a circular threaded housing that a centerpiece will be attached to. From that centerpiece a two way mirror piece will be attached by clips on both ends that can easily be removed for other styled mirrors to be place in its place.
  • 2. A phone cover case that would fit cellphones with a built-on square two way mirror over the camera on the back side that lifts up, pivots, and drops over the front camera of the phone.
  • 3. A universal clip from side to side on top of the cellphone. That clip contains the two-way mirror which slides up and down on small track. It also flips back and slides up and down on the back of the camera as well.

The foregoing description and drawings comprise illustrative embodiments. Having thus described exemplary embodiments, it should be noted by those skilled in the art that the within disclosures are exemplary only, and that various other alternatives, adaptations, and modifications may be made within the scope of the present disclosure. Merely listing or numbering the steps of a method in a certain order does not constitute any limitations on the order of the steps of that method. Many modifications and other embodiments will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains having the benefit of teaching presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Although specific terms may be employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. Accordingly, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments illustrated herein, but is limited only by the following claims.
