    Abstract: The invention relates to a communication system and a method for providing a virtual meeting of a first user (U1, U2, U3, U4) and a second user (U1, U2, U3, U4), comprising a first communication device (12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34) with a first display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) associated with the first user (U1, U2, U3, U4), and a second communication device (12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28, 32, 34) with a second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) associated with the second user (U1, U2, U3, U4). Moreover a virtual meeting space (22) is displayed on the second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a), user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3) related to the first user (U1, U2, U3, U4) are provided and a first displaying characteristic (B1′, B2′, B3′) of a first object (U1′, U2′, U3′, U4′, 30) is determined in dependency of the provided user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3) according to a set degree of variance (R1, R2, R3) of the user related data (B1, B2, B3, D1, D2, D3). Further the first object (U1′, U2′, U3′, U4′, 30) is displayed with the determined first displaying characteristic (B1′, B2′, B3′) according to the set degree of variance (R1, R2, R3) within the virtual meeting space (22) displayed on the second display device (12a, 14a, 16a, 18a, 24a, 26a, 28a, 32a) to the second user (U1, U2, U3, U4).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining at least one parameter of two eyes (10l, 10r) of a test person (31), the method comprising the following steps: optically capturing of a first eye (10l; 10r) of the two eyes (10l, 10r) by means of a first capturing unit (3l; 3r); optically capturing the second eye (10r; 10l) of the two eyes (10l, 10r) by means of a second capturing unit (3r; 3l); transmitting first signals concerning the captured first eye (10l; 10r) from the first capturing unit (3l; 3r) to an analysis unit (27) and transmitting second sig-nals concerning the captured second eye (10r; 10l) from the second capturing unit (3r; 3l) to the analysis unit (27); determining the at least one parameter of the two eyes (10l, 10r) on the basis of the transmitted first and second signals in the analysis unit (27), characterized by the following step: setting a first data rate for the first signals and a second data rate for the sec-ond signals, wherein the first and the second data rate differ from each other, and wherein the transmitting of the first signals is effected at a first data rate and the transmitting of the second signals is effected at a second data rate.

    Abstract: Method for subsequently displaying a stream of images in a display area of a display device, wherein a first area within the display area is determined around a point of regard. A first image of the stream of images is displayed in the display area such that a first part of the first image, which is displayed in the first area, is displayed according to a first parameter value of at least one parameter and a second part of the first image, which is displayed in at least one second area outside the first area, is displayed according to a second parameter value of the at least one parameter. Moreover, the determining of the point of regard is performed as predicting the point of regard for a certain future point of time, at which the first image is displayed.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for capturing data from the ambient data of an environment (12) of a user by means of a scene image recording device (16) and for the evaluation of the acquired ambient data by means of an evaluation device (22). Here a spatial and/or temporal selection (36a, 36b, 36c) is made which concerns an acquisition of the ambient data by means of the scene image recording device (16) and/or a transmission of the ambient data from the scene image recording device (16) to the evaluation device (22) and/or an evaluation of the ambient data by the evaluation device (22). Furthermore, the selection (36a, 36b, 36c) is made as a function of at least one captured, temporally variable first parameter (30, 32) in order to make this selection on the basis of its relevance and thus to make possible a reduction of the data volume by reduction measures restricted to less relevant data.
