With people around the world self-isolating at home in order to curb the spread of Covid-19, Apple has received a patent for software that would allow people to take group selfies while socially distancing from one another.
The US Patent and Trademark Office recently granted Apple a patent for the software that would allow for"synthetic group selfies," or socially distant group selfies.The software would allow a user to invite others to participate in a group selfie that would arrange multiple people into a single image. It would remove the background image from other users' selfies and place them into the user's photo.
