  • Patent number: 11798204
    Abstract: Imaging systems and techniques are described. An imaging system receives image data representing at least a portion (e.g., a face) of a first user as captured by a first image sensor. The imaging system identifies that a gaze of the first user as represented in the image data is directed toward a displayed representation of at least a portion (e.g., a face) of a second user. The imaging system identifies an arrangement of representations of users for output. The imaging system generates modified image data based on the gaze and the arrangement at least in part by modifying the image data to modify at least the portion of the first user in the image data to be visually directed toward a direction corresponding to the second user based on the gaze and the arrangement. The imaging system outputs the modified image data arranged according to the arrangement.
