1. An electronic device comprising:
at least one image capturing device that captures video of a local scene;
an interface by which the electronic device connects to a display device that presents a preview of the captured video of the local scene;
a memory having stored thereon a video image segmentation and control module (VISCM) and a demonstration object preview module (DOPM), the VISCM comprising first program instructions for spatially delineating video images into two or more segments that can be individually presented or hidden within a video feed, the DOPM comprising second program instructions for selectively reversing image mirroring to previews of individual segments of a video feed; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the display device, to each of the at least one image capturing device, and to the memory, the at least one processor processing the first and second program instructions of the VISCM and the DOPM, which configures the at least one processor to:
identify a demonstration object within a video image captured by the at least one image capturing device, the demonstration object being in a defined area of a preview of the video image;
spatially segment the video image into two or more segments, including a demonstration object preview (DOP) segment that encompasses the defined area with the demonstration object and at least one secondary segment encompassing a remaining portion of the video image; and
present a preview of the two or more segments of the video image on the display device with the remaining portion of the video image mirrored within the preview and at least the DOP segment presented without mirroring in a correct spatial location relative to the remaining portion of the video image, wherein a person presenting the demonstration object receives a non-mirrored preview presentation of the demonstration object.
