This report introduces a software-based system that aims to improve the overall quality of the user experience (QoE) on existing online conference meeting platforms, such as Zoom or Teams. The objective of the system is to explore methods to increase immersion and comfort in virtual meetings while mitigating the negative effects of prolonged use, commonly referred to as "Zoom fatigue." The proposed solution consists of five functional modules: Multiple Target Windows Merging and Alignment, Background Removal, Vision Angle Tilting by Head Orientation, Auto Display Resizing, and Boundary Warning. Importantly, the system does not require additional hardware or virtual reality tools, as a standard built-in or USB webcam is sufficient. The software aims to balance the cost and convenience for users while enhancing their overall experience. This report provides technical details of the proposed approach, which offers a cost-effective, user-friendly, and accessible solution for online video conferencing and meetings. Additionally, a software interface is designed for users to evaluate this new online meeting experience and provide feedback.
