1. A video communication apparatus comprising:
a communication unit configured to receive a counterpart image; a transparent display; a front camera positioned behind the transparent display, configured to capture an image of an object in front of the transparent display through the transparent display; and a controller configured to synchronize an image capture period of the front camera with a screen output period of the transparent display so that image capturing of the front camera alternates with screen output of the transparent display, to output, during video communication, an image captured by the front camera to a user preview screen on the transparent display, to transmit the image captured by the front camera to the other party, and upon receipt of the counterpart image of the other party, to output the image of the other party in a preview screen associated with the other party on the transparent display, wherein the controller shifts the counterpart image of the other party so that the middle of the other party's two eyes in the other party's face in the counterpart image of the other party corresponds to a position of the front camera, and outputs the shifted counterpart image of the other party in the preview screen associated with the other party on the transparent display, and wherein if the contour of the other party's face is outside the preview screen associated with the other party in the shifted image of the other party, the controller scales down the counterpart image of the other party so that the corresponding scaled-down counterpart image of the other party falls within the preview screen associated with the other party, and outputs the scaled-down counterpart image of the other party in the preview screen associated with the other party on the transparent display. |
