Abstract
A device may include videoconferencing circuitry. The videoconferencing circuitry may access video data of a user captured through a camera. The videoconferencing circuitry may further determine, for the captured video data, that a user portion of the user is not in a field of view of the camera, such as the hand of the user. The videoconferencing circuitry may augment the video data to include a virtual representation of the user portion of the user and transmit the video data augmented with the virtual representation of the user portion to a remote videoconferencing device.
Claims15
A device comprising:
- videoconferencing circuitry to:
- determine that a user portion of a user is not in a field of view of a camera;
- transmit video data captured by the camera to a remote videoconferencing device without the user portion of the user shown in the video data;
- and
- transmit a virtual representation indication to the remote videoconferencing device to cause a virtual representation of the user portion to be presented with the video data.
A processor-implemented method comprising:
- accessing video data of a user captured through a camera;
- determining, for the captured video data, that a user portion of the user is not in a field of view of the camera;
- augmenting the video data to include a virtual representation of the user portion of the user;
- and
- transmitting the video data augmented with the virtual representation of the user portion to a remote videoconferencing device.
A device comprising:
- presentation circuitry to:
- receive a virtual representation indication from a remote device, the virtual representation indication specifying that a hand portion of a remote user is out of a field of view of a remote camera of the remote device;
- and
- present, on a user interface, a virtual hand representation for the remote user in order to account for the hand portion that is out of the field of view of the remote camera.
