Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal computer camera used for video communication conversation. 2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional video communication conversation, as shown in FIG. 2, a camera for taking a picture of this face and an image of the face of the other party are located at different positions. [0003] However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, when the user talks while watching the video projected by the other party, his / her eyes deviate from the installed camera and the other party looks at the other party. The video was not sent from here. On the other hand, when I talked to the camera, I could not see the other person's eyes. This makes the conversation very unnatural. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a personal computer camera for video communication conversation that enables a user to talk while looking at the camera and at the same time watching the image of the other party. [0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is to provide a mirror A in which a reflective paint is cut out to substantially the same diameter as a camera lens and is installed in front of the camera. The personal computer camera is characterized in that the video of the other party reflected on the display is reflected on the mirror A by using one mirror B, and the video communication conversation can be performed while looking at the camera and looking at the other party's eyes. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The mirror A has a hollow portion 6 of substantially the same diameter as the lens of the camera 2 from which the reflective paint is peeled off. Then, the lens and the hollow portion 6 of the mirror A are installed so as to fit each other. Accordingly, the camera 2 can transmit the mirror A from the back of the mirror A with the cutout portion 6 as a peep hole. Next, the angle of the movable arm 5 and the mirror B is changed to reflect the image 4
To be reflected in At this time, the angle is adjusted so that the eyebrows of the other person's face come into the hollowed portion 6. According to this embodiment, since the image 4 of the face of the opponent is reflected on the mirror A, the user can speak while looking at the eyes of the opponent. At the same time, since the user is talking to the camera 2, the image sent from here is also the image of the other party. As described above, according to the present invention, a video communication conversation can be performed while looking at the camera and the eyes of the other party's image. [0008]
