Abstract
A video conference system that allows a video attendee to look around an entire conference room simply by moving his or her head is described. In order to locate the attendee´s head, a differential image is produced by removing a reference view from the current video image. The orientation of a motorized camera is then determined directly by the head position of the video attendee. The increased affordances of this mechanism are discussed
