Abstract

A device may include videoconferencing circuitry. The videoconferencing circuitry may access video data of a user captured through a camera. The videoconferencing circuitry may further determine, for the captured video data, that a user portion of the user is not in a field of view of the camera, such as the hand of the user. The videoconferencing circuitry may augment the video data to include a virtual representation of the user portion of the user and transmit the video data augmented with the virtual representation of the user portion to a remote videoconferencing device.
