Abstract

GAZE-2 is an attentive video conferencing system that conveys whom users are talking to by measuring whom a user looks at and then rotating his video image towards that person in a 3D meeting room. Attentive Videotunnels ensure a parallax-free image by automatically broadcasting the feed from the camera closest to where the user looks. The system allows attentive compression by reducing resolution of video and audio feeds from users that are not being looked at.
