Abstract(in English) Recently, the spread of Web cameras has facilitated video-conferencing. Since a Web camera is usually located outside the display while the user looks at his/her partner in it, there is a problem that they cannot establish eye contact with each other. Many researchers have proposed methods to solve this problem, but most of them required specific sensors. We proposed a method which uses only one camera and transforms the user's eye areas in an image to his/her eye image with a straight gaze to the camera only when the user's gaze falls in a range that the partner would perceive eye contact, which is called $perceptual~range~of~eye~contact$.
