A system for video conferencing is disclosed. The system comprises a data processor which receives from a remote location a stream of imagery data of a remote user, and displays an image of the remote user on a display device. The data processor also receives a stream of imagery data of an individual in a local scene in front of the display device, and extracts a gaze direction and/or a head orientation of the individual. The data processor varies a view of the image responsively to the gaze direction and/or the head orientation.
