Eye Contact in Video Conferencing (2018)

It’s basically a miniature teleprompter, and you can opt to position the video in such a way that the other person’s image (rather than text you’re reading) appears on the mirror directly in front of the camera. A system called GAZE-2, developed at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, attempted to address this by using multiple cameras in a video tunnel, along with an extra camera that detected where the user’s eyes were looking; software then switched to the camera nearest the user’s direction of gaze and rotating the image on the other end to match. Cameras behind the screen recorded the participants in one location, while ordinary video projectors displayed the images of other participants (in one or more locations) on the front of the screen.
