Methods, systems, and apparatus for providing video communications

1. An apparatus for conducting a video conference, the apparatus comprising:

a processor;

memory to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

determine a location of one or more sets of eyes in an image, and

change a location of an image capture device based on the determined location of the one or more sets of eyes.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining operation determines the location of the one or more sets of eyes by processing the image.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining operation determines the location of the one or more sets of eyes based on a direction of a source of speech.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to pan the image capture device toward an identified set of eyes.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the identified set of eyes corresponds to a video conference participant.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the changing operation changes a location of a portion of a display device.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the changing operation changes a location of a reflective element.

8. An apparatus for conducting a video conference, the apparatus comprising:

an image capture device;

a first controllable track for changing a location of an image capture device, and

a reflective element oriented to reflect an image of a user toward the image capture device.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an image capture device carrier for carrying the image capture device.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a second controllable track configured to change a location of the reflective element.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the image capture device is configured to pan.

12. A method for conducting a video conference, the method comprising:

determining a location of one or more sets of eyes in an image, and

changing a location of an image capture device based on the determined location of the one or more sets of eyes.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determining operation determines the location of the one or more sets of eyes by processing the image.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the determining operation determines the location of the one or more sets of eyes based on a direction of a source of speech.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising panning the image capture device toward an identified set of eyes.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the identified set of eyes corresponds to a video conference participant.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the changing operation changes a location of a portion of a display device.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the changing operation changes a location of a reflective element.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:

determining a location of one or more sets of eyes in an image, and

changing a location of an image capture device based on the determined location of the one or more sets of eyes.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the determining operation determines the location of the one or more sets of eyes by processing the image.

21. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the determining operation determines the location of the one or more sets of eyes based on a direction of a source of speech.

22. The apparatus of claim 19 , further comprising panning the image capture device toward an identified set of eyes.

23. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the identified set of eyes corresponds to a video conference participant.

24. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the changing operation changes a location of a portion of a display device.

25. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the changing operation changes a location of a reflective element.
