Abstract
A gaze accurate video conferencing system includes a screen that alternates between a light-scattering state and a substantially transparent state. A camera is positioned behind the screen and is configured to capture images of a user positioned in front of the screen when the screen is in its substantially transparent state. When the screen is in its substantially light-scattering state, a projector projects a display image on the screen.
