<p>A 3D video conferencing station (100) comprises a video camera (102) for capturing video signals and a depth map calculator (104) for creating a depth map (120) of a user (114) of the 3D video conferencing station (100). Thevideo signals together with the depth map are transmitted as 3D video data. The 3D video conferencing station (100) further comprises a stereoscopic display device (112) for displaying stereo images, which are calculated on the basis of received 3D video data. The depth map which is generated by the depth map calculator (104) is also used for estimating the position of the user (114) in order to control the calculation of the stereo images.</p>
