Abstract: Method for replicating directional sound detecting a plurality of sound signals emitted by a sound source in a recording space and recording the plurality of detected sound signals emitted by the sound source. The method also configured for determining, in a time variable manner, a main direction of emission of the plurality of sound signals, and reproducing the plurality of sound signals based on the main direction of emission using a first reproduction unit associated with the sound source and at least one second reproduction unit spaced apart from the first reproduction unit. The main direction of emission is simulated in during the reproduction with the at least one second reproduction unit using time delays relative to the first reproduction unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for carrying out a video conference between a location A and at least one location W, during which it is possible for at least some participants to make eye-to-eye contact or face-to-face contact. To achieve this, location A is equipped with at least two image generation elements for generating images of the participants in location A, said elements being assigned to different participant positions in location W and is also equipped with at least one optical representation of each participant position in location W.
