Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at a camera sensor associated with an information handling device, image data from a plurality of imaging ports, wherein the plurality of imaging ports are positioned around the information handling device; determining, using a processor, a primary imaging port from the plurality of imaging ports, wherein image data captured at the primary imaging port shows a front view of a user; and broadcasting, responsive to the determining, the image data from the primary imaging port. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a camera sensor associated with an information handling device, image data from a plurality of imaging ports, wherein the plurality of imaging ports are positioned around the information handling device;
- determining, using a processor, a primary imaging port from the plurality of imaging ports, wherein image data captured at the primary imaging port shows a front view of a user;
- and
- broadcasting, responsive to the determining, the image data from the primary imaging port.
An information handling device, comprising:
- a camera sensor;
- a plurality of imaging ports;
- a processor;
- a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive, at the camera sensor, image data from the plurality of imaging ports, wherein the plurality of imaging ports are positioned around the information handling device;
- determine a primary imaging port from the plurality of imaging ports, wherein image data captured at the primary imaging port shows a front view of a user;
- and
- broadcast, responsive to the determining, the image data from the primary imaging port.
A product, comprising:
- a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
- code that receives image data from a plurality of imaging ports, wherein the plurality of imaging ports are positioned around an information handling device;
- code that determines a primary imaging port from the plurality of imaging ports, wherein image data captured at the primary imaging port shows a front view of a user;
- and
- code that broadcasts, responsive to the code that determines, the image data from the primary imaging port.
