Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a device (1) for a videoconference communication between a local user (5) and at least one remote user (6), which reduces the eye deflection and provides a better eye contact between the local user and the remote user. The device includes a screen (4) capable of restoring, for the local user, an image of the remote user, and an image sensor (3) capable of sensing an image of the local user for the remote user. It further comprises a light source (2) arranged, relative to the image sensor, so as to lighten the eyes of the local user watching the screen during a communication with the remote user, so that the image sensor can detect an image of the local user including a reflection of the light source on a portion at least of each eye of the local user, including the pupil. The device further includes communication means (7) capable of transmitting the detected image to the remote user (6).
