Abstract
A camera positioning device for eye-to-eye alignment in video conference applications is provided. The device can include a camera, a cord going from the camera to a computer, and a positioning component (e.g., a bracket) that connects the camera to the computer. The bracket allows for manual adjustment of the cord attached to the camera to maintain vertical and horizontal positioning and rotational stability of a camera for improved eye-to-eye alignment in video conference applications.
Claims19
An image capture device positioning system, comprising:
- a camera;
- a support member operable to transmit at least one of power or data between the camera and a computing device, the support member having a body portion, wherein a first end of the body portion includes the camera and a second end of the body portion includes connecting elements providing for releasable engagement between the support member and one of the computing device or a component coupled to the computing device;
- and
- a positioning component providing releasable engagement with a portion of a display screen and operable to direct the second end of the support member to one of the computing device or the component and the first end of the support member to an operative region of the display screen, wherein the positioning component and the support member are configured to maintain a position of the positioning component on the display screen, and wherein the positioning component includes a tensioning device, the tensioning device comprising at least a first opening and a second opening through which the support member passes, and wherein the support member passes through the first opening on a back portion of the tensioning device which directs the support member through the second opening on a front portion of the tensioning device.
