摘要： A video camera adapted for use with a computer monitor, the video camera including a first housing and an optical video sensor mounted in the first housing and arranged to view the face of a computer operator, the monitor including a second housing and a display screen mounted in the second housing and arranged to be viewed by the computer operator, the display screen having an image surface, and the second housing including a frame portion disposed adjacent to the image surface at a top portion thereof, the frame having a top surface. The first housing is configured to position the optical video sensor between said display surface and the computer operator, superimposed along axis between the computer operator and the display surface on the frame at a position adjacent the display surface and below the top of the frame, and at a position between the lateral sides and not substantially obscuring the display surface. This configuration provides an video image which appears, in a videoconferencing system with a corresponding image displayed on the display surface, as a face-to-face communication.
