A videoconferencing terminal that is used by each attendee A of a videoconference where the terminal is capable of recording images of the participants from a number of perspectives, whilst enabling them to make eye to eye contact with other attendees. This is done with the use of a number of cameras 3 and a means of capturing images of the participant whilst they are able to view an image of the videoconference. Each terminal displays a processed image B, C, D of the participant from the other terminals in a way that supports a 'virtual' arrangement of all participants and all participants with observe the same configuration of the videoconference. Video and audio rendering of the recorded data will support the arrangement of the conference that has been chosen. The images 6 of other participants may be displayed on a screen 1 and reflected by a beam splitter 2, with each camera being located behind the respective reflected image of the participant. |
