Abstract: A best available video stream is determined for each of multiple conference participants within a conference room including multiple cameras based on scores determined for video streams obtained from the cameras. The scores are determined based on representations of the conference participants within the video streams, for example, based on percentages of conference participant faces visible within the video streams, directions of conference participant faces relative to the cameras, directions of eye gaze of the conference participants relative to the cameras, and/or degrees to which conference participant faces are obscured within the video streams. The best available video streams are output for rendering within separate user interface tiles of conferencing software.

Abstract: A light-emitting assembly includes a first light guide element and a second light guide element, which have end sections connected to each other, the end sections having a main light propagation direction. The first and second light guide elements further having light guide sections which spread out from the top of a connection region of the end sections. A middle element is located between the light guide sections of the light guide elements and spaced apart from the top, the middle element having a light entry face and a light exit face which is opposite the light entry face and configured to emit light between the spread-out light guide sections. At least one of the light entry face and the light exit face has a light-transmitting region with a predetermined shape, the light-transmitting region occupying a part of a corresponding face of the middle element.

Abstract: An optical assembly, a vehicle lamp and a motor vehicle are disclosed. The optical assembly includes a light guide, the light guide at least having a first light guide section, a second light guide section and a bridging light guide section. The first light guide section and the second light guide section are connected together at one end to form an end region and bifurcating from the end region, the end region having an end face for the in-coupling of light. The bridging light guide section is arranged between the first light guide section and the second light guide section. The bridging light guide section is spaced apart from a bifurcation position of the first light guide section and the second light guide section, and the bridging light guide section has a light in-coupling face facing the bifurcation position, and a light out-coupling face.

Abstract: An optical assembly and a vehicle lamp are described. The optical assembly has a main exit direction, and includes a light source, a first light guide element and a second light guide element which are arranged in a superposed fashion in the main exit direction. The light source is allocated to the first light guide element, and the first light guide element has a first light in-coupling region and a first light out-coupling surface, the second light guide element has a second light in-coupling surface and a second light out-coupling surface, with the first light out-coupling surface facing the second light in-coupling surface. A light distribution structure is provided on at least a partial segment of at least one of the first light out-coupling surface and the second light in-coupling surface. The vehicle lamp includes the optical assembly described above.
