  • Patent number: 6677979
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing digital video teleconferencing over a network that allows a user to view the event in a manner more closely approximating live viewing are provided, while not requiring excessive use of bandwidth. Low resolution and high resolution of a videoconference event are obtained, preferably by using two cameras at the event. A whole eye view is sent to clients at low resolution. A user at the client can select one or more areas of interest to him (“attention windows”). High resolution data from the attention window(s) selected by each user is sent to the respective client. The client displays the whole eye view and the attention window data.
