There's a few ways a device could detect the foreground (you) from the
background (everything else) and use an alternative background image:

Detect a particular colour (like a green or blue background).

Detect a particular level (like a bright white or black background).

Something like MPEG compression.  Where any pixels that change due to
movement are foreground, anything that stays static would be the
background.  That has the potential for some very trippy effects when
it gets it wrong.

The same kind of thing could be done by storing a still image from the
camera before you step in front of it, and always comparing it with the
current live camera.
