<p>Eye-to-eye videoconferencing may be carried out through the use of a bendable coupling (142) that removably disposes an image receiving device (148) between screen portion (114) of a display and a person (120) viewing the screen. According to one example, the image receiving device (148) comprises a lens that conveys light into the distal end of a coherent fiber optic bundle. The light then moves through the cable to reach a camera offset from the screen portion. Alternatively, the image receiving device may be a miniature camera that provides a video signal via a video cable connected to the camera. As another alternative, the camera may be coupled to a miniature wireless transmitter. A wireless receiver offset from the screen portion may then receive the video signal and convey it a display or communications network.</p> |
