Abstract:
An immersive video teleconferencing system may include a transparent display and at least one image sensor operably coupled to the transparent display. The at least one image sensor may be multiple cameras included on a rear side of the transparent display, or a depth camera operably coupled to the transparent display. Depth data may be extracted from the images collected by the at least one image sensor, and an image of a predetermined subject may be segmented from a background of the collected images based on the depth data. The image of the segmented predetermined subject may also be scaled based on the depth data. The image of the scaled segmented predetermined subject may be transmitted to a remote transparent display at a remote location, and displayed on the remote transparent display such that a background surrounding the displayed image of the remote location is visible through the transparent display, so that the predetermined subject appears to be physically located at the remote location.
