Definition
Term coined by Steve Mann to describe a reality that is removes at will certain undesired aspects of regular reality. His billboard blocking heads up display, for instance, helped to diminish the reality that external messages create for the experience of a public person. Diminished reality technology removes objects from video in real time and sends them back to the viewer, allowing the viewer to perceive that objects are no longer there.
Wearcam
Steve Mann's Wearcam..."allows the wearer of the special eyeglasses to pay more attention to the road. Moreover, by eliminating the need for pencil and paper, roadmaps, or the like, safety is improved because eyes are kept on the road at all times, rather than trying to share attention between a notepad of paper, a map, or the like" [1]
Diminished Reality Software
"Researchers at Technical University of Ilmenau in Germany have developed “diminished reality” software that can delete an object from live, full-motion video.
The software first reduces the resolution of the object, removes the image, and improves the result (similar to using a smudge tool in Photoshop), then incrementally increases the resolution, improving the result, until the original resolution is restored.
To remove an object from a video, just draw an enclosed loop around it (from video by Jan Herling)
It repeats that for each frame of the video in real time, delivering the final image in 40 ms" [2]
