Abstract
An image capturing device/system is provided with attention directing functions for directing attentions of imaging targets. In particular, the image capturing device may include a presentation device, such as a visual or an audio presentation device. The presentation device may be provided on a side of the image capturing device facing the imaging targets when the image capturing device captures the images of the imaging targets. The presentation device may be configured to display or output a presentation before and/or during an image capturing process to direct the attentions of the imaging targets toward the image capturing device.
