Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for conducting a video conference. A location of one or more sets of eyes in an image may be determined. The relative location of an image capture device and/or a portion of a display device may be adjusted based on the determined location.
Claims20
An apparatus for conducting a video conference, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- memory to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining a location of one or more sets of eyes in an image captured by an image capture device, and
- changing a location of a reflective element, the reflective element oriented to reflect the image toward the image capture device.
1 more element
An apparatus for conducting a video conference, the apparatus comprising:
- a first controllable track for changing a location of a reflective element, the reflective element oriented to reflect an image toward an image capture device;
- and
- an image processing device for determining a location of one or more sets of eyes in the image.
A method for conducting a video conference, the method comprising:
- determining a location of one or more sets of eyes in an image captured by an image capture device;
- and
- changing a location of a reflective element based on the determined location of the one or more sets of eyes, the reflective element oriented to reflect the image toward the image capture device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:
- determining a location of one or more sets of eyes in an image captured by an image capture device, and
- changing a location of a reflective element, the reflective element oriented to reflect the image toward the image capture device.
