Abstract:
Systems for videoconferencing are designed for where people are seated around a video conferencing system. The systems include a camera so the far site can see the local participants and the systems include displays that show the far site. The displays are properly aligned with the cameras so that when people at the far site view the displayed images of the near site, it looks like they have eye contact with the near site. Obtaining the alignments of the camera and the displays to provide this apparent eye contact result requires meeting a series of different constraints relating to the various sizes and angles of the components and the locations of the participants.

Claim (Index 1):
A videoconferencing unit comprising:\n a support structure adapted for placement on a surface; a camera device coupled to the support structure, the camera device having a first height along a first line orthogonal to the surface; one or more display surfaces; and a first display surface of the one or more display surfaces, the first display surface having a top region, the top region having a second height along a second line parallel to the first line, the second height shorter than the first height, wherein the camera device is configured to capture image data such that when eyes of a first participant are at a point within a predetermined distance from central portion of the first display surface, and a third line orthogonal to the display surface forms an acute angle with a fourth line from the camera device intersecting the point, the image data corresponding to the eyes is renderable to a second display surface so as to be perceivable as making eye contact with a second participant viewing the second display surface, and the acute angle so formed is greater than zero degrees and less than or equal to twenty degrees.
