CA 2099505
Apparatus (500) establishes eye contact between communicating parties during video conferencing and comprises mirrors, polarizers and a camera which are positioned such that the apparatus protrudes a minimal distance from the terminal screen (125). A first polarizer (511) located in front of the terminal screen passes a polarization of the image of the distant party radiated from the terminal screen. A first mirror (521), which is partially silvered, reflects the image of the local party and transmits the image of the distant party. The reflected image of the local party is directed toward a second mirror (522) located below the first mirror. The second mirror is positioned to capture the image of the local party from the first mirror and to reflect this image into a miniature camera (530). A second polarizer (512) is located between the second mirror and the camera is cross-polarized with the first polarizer.
