ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a video telephony system, comprising:(a) an imaging device116to receive an image of a first participant104in a communication interaction with a second participant120remote from the first participant;(b) an audio input device108to receive the first participant's voice communication with the second participant; and(c) a processor136operable to forward the received image and voice communication, respectively, to a display and audio output device associated with the second participant. The imaging device116comprises at least one boundary marking device to project, during the communication session, at least one boundary marker154visible to the first participant104. The boundary marker154indicates a spatial extent of at least one of the received image and an image circle of the imaging device.
