Hello,
this is not exactly a gentoo issue. But due i am using gentoo i am asking
here.
Problem: Usually the camera is outside of the screen. The user normally looks
at the screen. As result the communication partner(s) see him not looking at
the camera.
Idea: Use two cameras positioned left and right or top and bottom of the
screen. Combine the two video streams and generate a third stream having a
virtual camera positioned at the middle of the screen.
Result: Better communication. The partners always looking in their eyes. At
the same time the screen contents can be viewed.
Is this description clear enough ?
Sounds that feasible ?
Anyone taking the task ?
Or is there a better place to post such an idea ?
kind regards
Petric
"stereoscopic" is but one technology where dual camera feeds are
combined. Just mount one on top, center of the monitor. Routine solution.
old background:

Other hacks through expensive solutions exist.
I'd think a single lens camera mounted on top, center of the monitor, 4K
resolution, would solve your issues, better than (2) integrated lenses.
ymmv.
