Abstract

A technique for enhancing the illusion of physical presence in a common space during a multipoint video conference is disclosed. The technique may include controlling the appearance of a first portion (48) of the video images separately from an appearance of a second portion (46) of the video images to achieve a consistent image appearance across the multipoint videoconference.
