Christian,
It's nice of you to volunteer the hardware, software, and support personnel to
test out auto-tracking in Yokohama!
:) (if it wasn't obvious)
Regards,

Agreed, but that doesn't solve either the chair problem or the

panning or multiple cameras and switching, either of which
require human attention.
John, we are in 2015. Computer vision can definitely help tracking the
speaker. You can find face tracking algorithms in many packages, including
open source variants. Computer systems can easily track the speaker's face,
crop the image around that, and send the speaker-focused image over the
video. This is not rocket science. The pink box is obsolete.
