Studio, studio system, studio configuration and calibration method for life-size videoconferencing include local conferee space and local transceiver for life-size videoconferencing. The transceiver includes optical input unit and optical output unit providing continuous duplex image transfer via a duplexer area of a screen configured to simultaneously transmit to local conferee space the image of remote conferee space including a remote studio, and reflect the image of local conferee space to the optical input unit, enabling visualizing to scale without aberrations image of the entire local conferee space to the remote conferee space; enabling a local party conferee to establish eye contact and register body movements of a remote party conferee. Images of physically separated conferee spaces are concatenated to an operational conference setting, enabling a remote conferee located anywhere in the remote space to establish eye contact with a conferee visible in the image of the second remote space.

A studio for life-size videoconferencing comprising a local conferee space and a local transceiver comprising an optical input unit, an optical output unit, a screen and a transparent protective barrier, wherein said transparent protective barrier is provided to seal and protect the components of the transceiver from being accessed from the local conferee space and said screen is provided between the transparent protective barrier and the optical output unit skewed with an angle (α) around a vertical axis (z), such that the screen totally reflects an image of the complete local conferee space, enabling the image of the entire local conferee space to be visualized to scale, without aberrations, in a remote conferee space and is transparent for a conferee in the local conferee space that is observing the optical output unit showing an image of the remote conferee space visualized to scale without aberrations, thereby enabling a local party comprising a conferee to establish eye contact and register the body movements of a remote party comprising conferee.
