Abstract
A video conference receiving system receives a panoramic view of a meeting. The panoramic view is displayed in a panoramic window of a display unit with additional windows so that a remote participant of the meeting enjoys many of the benefits of physically attending the meeting. For example, a virtual camera window can be displayed in the display unit. The remote participant can pan the virtual camera window to view different areas of the meeting. Furthermore the remote participant can cause the virtual camera window to zoom in or zoom out to obtain the desired image. An auto-tracking window can be displayed that automatically tracks an object, such as a on-site participant of the meeting or the active speaker of the meeting. Furthermore, an application that is shared by the participants of the meeting can be displayed in an application window.
