Video conferencing transparent monitor with an integrated behind-display camera

Abstract

A camera device placed behind a display screen with singular resolution and uniform level of transparency, capturing the user on the front side of the display capturing in the camera's FOV at least some of the user's touch gestures when in contact of the display screen. In a preferred embodiment, the display is semi-transparent with at least 25% or more transparency, and the camera is placed at the center of the back surface of the display screen to allow natural looking images of the person's gaze or glance. The camera is integrated with a built-in processor that process application software for viewing captured images from the camera, applies a spatial filter to eliminate certain distortion, embed the camera view image of the person in an mirror image with the digital content being displayed to form a combined new imaging with both person and digital display, and exchanging both video images and on display content with a remote party via a communication server to enable a shared transparent digital “glass board” where both parties can see where the other party is gazing or gesturing or writing over the shared digital content on the “glass board”. Wherein the processor controls the video output and the camera's shutter to synchronize the display's progress scan refresh lines with the camera's rolling shutter scan lines in time and imaging location.
