Abstract
A support system (10) and method for the viewer-dependent positioning and alignment of a monitor (20) is disclosed. The support system (10) comprises a central support column (14), a first arm (16) having an adjustable length L, wherein the first arm (16) is rotatably connected at its proximal end to the central support column (14) and is pivotally connected at its distal end to the monitor (20), a second arm (18), wherein the second arm (18) is connected at its distal end to a camera (50), and control means for positioning and aligning the monitor (20) such that irrespective of the angular position of the viewer (i) the monitor (20) is positioned along the line of sight of the viewer pointing towards a reference position, (ii) the distance from the monitor (20) to the viewer (40) is held constant, and (iii) the monitor (20) is at a right angle with respect to the line of sight of the viewer (40) pointing towards a reference position.
