A system for enhancing eye gaze in a telepresence system, comprising: a plurality of local displays; a plurality of local cameras, each local camera directed to at least one respective local user section of a plurality of local user sections and operable to generate a local video image of the at least one respective local user section, wherein the plurality of local cameras are positioned at a first distance below the top edge of the at least one local display of the plurality of local displays, the first distance based on the size of the at least one local display and a distance between a user in the local user section and the local camera; a plurality of remote displays, each remote display operable to reproduce the local video image of the at least one local user section generated by each respective local camera; and a local table coupled to the plurality of local displays and extending away from the local displays and into the plurality of local user sections, a remote table positioned in concert with the local table such that it appears that local table continues through local displays and into remote table, thereby appearing to form a single continuous table; wherein the plurality of remote displays and the plurality of local cameras are aligned such that when a first local user within at least one local user section looks at a target at least one remote display of the plurality of remote displays is operable to reproduce the local video image of the at least one local user section comprising at least the first local user such that the eye gaze of the reproduced image of the first local user is directed at a corresponding target. a plurality of local displays; a plurality of local cameras, each local camera directed to at least one respective local user section of a plurality of local user sections and operable to generate a local video image of the at least one respective local user section, wherein the plurality of local cameras are positioned at a first distance below the top edge of the at least one local display of the plurality of local displays, the first distance based on the size of the at least one local display and a distance between a user in the local user section and the local camera; a plurality of remote displays, each remote display operable to reproduce the local video image of the at least one local user section generated by each respective local camera; and a local table coupled to the plurality of local displays and extending away from the local displays and into the plurality of local user sections, a remote table positioned in concert with the local table such that it appears that local table continues through local displays and into remote table, thereby appearing to form a single continuous table; wherein the plurality of remote displays and the plurality of local cameras are aligned such that when a first local user within at least one local user section looks at a target at least one remote display of the plurality of remote displays is operable to reproduce the local video image of the at least one local user section comprising at least the first local user such that the eye gaze of the reproduced image of the first local user is directed at a corresponding target.
