FLATTENED LIGHT REFLECTION FOR TELEPRESENCE

摘要

Embodiments include a telepresence system operative to carry out a teleconference, a lighting arrangement for a telepresence system operative to carry out a teleconference, and a planar panel having a reflective front surface that includes indentations having variable depth operative such that that when the reflective surface is illuminated by a light source, light is directed towards one or more participants in a telepresence system that is operative to carry out a teleconference.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a planar panel having a reflective surface configured to reflect light from behind a display such that at least some reflected light from the reflective surface and some light from the display are directed in substantially the same direction away from the planar panel, wherein the reflective surface includes indentations that are shaped to direct light away from the planar panel; and a light source configured to direct light towards the reflective surface of the planar panel, and wherein the light source is controllable to produce the directed light in concert with the display.
