FIELD: physics, video.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a studio and a life-size videoconferencing method. Disclosed is a videoconferencing studio, which comprises: a local conferee space (310) and a local transceiver (305) for life-size videoconferencing. The transceiver (305) comprises an optical input unit (330) and an optical output unit (340) for continuous duplex image transfer via a duplexer area (350) of a screen (360), which is configured to simultaneously transmit to the local conferee space (310) the image of a remote conferee space (210) contained in a remote studio (200), and further reflect the image of the local conferee space (310) to the optical input unit (330), enabling the image of the entire local conferee space (310) to be visualised to scale and without distortions, to the remote conferee space (210); thereby enabling a local party comprising a conferee (70) to establish eye contact and register body movements of a remote party comprising conferee (80).
EFFECT: eliminating "wrong eye contact experience" and conducting a videoconference such that the perceived size of an object relates to apparent distance to the observer regardless of physical distance.
