However, in the context of videoconferencing, this process needs to be performed by control software. We discuss the use of a multi-camera multi-microphone set-up for unattended videoconferencing, and present details of a prototype implementation being developed %B 2000 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2000.
