Enabling eye-contact for home video communication with a multi-view autostereoscopic display

In this paper we present a system for real-time home video communications with multiple users. In order to offer a more natural face-to-face-like communication experience, we have designed a special 3D multi-view display showing different perspectives from different viewing positions. This enables proper directional eye contact and at the same time offers the sense of true physical presence. Our prototype system has clearly shown advantages as compared to existing video communication system for improved naturalness.
