Q. How is eye contact achieved by Omni-Series machines?
With conventional video-conferencing technology, users see one another
looking slightly downward since their camera is positioned above eye
level at the top of their computer monitor. With Omni-Series machines,
however, users transmit or project direct eye contact by way of a special
kind of reflective glass positioned on an angle below the camera and in
front of the user. This piece of glass aligns the camera’s view with the
user’s eyes so that the other conference participant sees the user directly
in the eye. Omni-Series machines that transmit direct eye contact include
the Omni-Bridge and the Omni-Station since both are equipped with the
necessary piece of reflective glass. All other Omni-Series machines
provide near eye contact with a camera that is positioned at the most
optimal angle possible.
