I bet there's a way to do something like that with Raspberry Pi, but it would be neat if you could buy a mass market device that did this. However, if I moved outside of the camera's field of view, obviously, it couldn't help me.Īuto Frame made me wish that someone would invent a pan and tilt webcam that uses servo motors to actually adjust its viewpoint. I found that Auto Frame works as advertised when I moved my head left and right and saw the image adjust accordingly. If, and only if, you don't want to use one of the background modification options, you can enable Auto Frame, which has the webcam appear to follow your head by cropping the image to make sure you are centered at all times.

Of all three background modification options, background blurring is the one I'd probably use most because it looks the least fake. When I held up my phone to the camera, it kept appearing and disappearing and eventually the system just showed my hand holding nothing. Interestingly, Nvidia Broadcast gets confused by objects you hold in your hand. So when I had my daughter on my lap and my son standing next to me, we were all included. The software not only recognized me, but also any other people who were in the frame with me.

Interestingly, the software also considers your chair to be part of your body, which makes sense because things might look even more awkward if it made you look like you were floating on air.

Sure, there was somewhat of a halo effect around me and I sometimes looked washed out or jagged, but the system did an impeccable job. No matter which of the background altering modes I chose - background blurring, background replacement or background removal - the system did an excellent job of separating me from the world behind me. Nvidia Broadcast uses image recognition to tell the difference between humans and the objects behind them and filters accordingly.
