Teleprompter systems and related methods

A teleprompter, comprising:

• a housing defining an open interior region, the open interior region having a back face and an opposed front face, wherein the housing has at least one side wall defining an external boundary of the open interior region and extending longitudinally from the front face to the back face, the housing further having a back wall corresponding to the back face of the open interior region, wherein the back wall of the housing defines an opening and a contoured inner perimeter thereof, wherein the back wall of the housing is configured to mate with a removable back plate defining an interface region having a contoured outer perimeter so complementary with the contoured inner perimeter of the opening defined by the back wall of the housing that when the contoured outer perimeter of the interface region is mated therewith, the removable back plate, in cooperation with the back wall of the housing, obscures light outside the housing from entering the open interior region through the back face thereof, the removable back plate defining an aperture;
• a display coupled with the housing and extending across the front face of the open interior region, defining an external boundary of the open interior region;
• a monitor mount configured to support a monitor and to orient the monitor transversely relative to the display;
• a camera mount movably so coupled with the housing as to permit at least one degree-of-freedom of movement of the camera mount relative to the housing, the camera mount further comprising one or more adjustable couplings configured to provide at least two degrees-of-freedom of camera movement relative thereto and to so retain the camera in a selected position and orientation relative thereto as to align a field-of-view of the camera to extend from the aperture of the removable back plate, through the open interior region of the housing and through the display to align with a user's gaze upon the display.
