Abstract: A method of capturing data for use in a video conference includes capturing data of a first party at a first location using an array of one or more video cameras and/or one or more sensors. The three-dimensional position(s) of one or more features represented in the data captured by the video camera(s) and/or sensor(s) are determined. A virtual camera positioned at a three-dimensional virtual camera position is defined. The three-dimensional position(s) determined for the feature(s) are transformed into a common coordinate system to form a single view of the feature(s) as appearing to have been captured from the virtual camera. The video image and/or sensor data of the feature(s) viewed from the perspective of the virtual camera and/or data representative of the transformed three-dimensional position(s) of the feature(s) are then transmitted or stored.
