All this working from home and video conferencing makes it abundant that centred cameras embedded in device screens should be a priority technology for development. AR AI attention refocusing is a la recent FaceTime isn’t a great solution.

@yorrike I am also bothered by the impossibility of actual eye contact, at each and every call. I usually make the app window as small as comfortable, and put it all the way to the top, as near as possible to the webcam (which makes it better for the other side, not me). Solving this would be such a ux game changer for video calls! Even more so for calls with multiple people.

I am not familiar with FaceTime, how are they using AR to solve it?

@yorrike Oh, interesting approach. I wonder why they haven't rolled it out in the end. Once is out there, pressure is on for other platforms to have this feature as well. I would imagine one could get quite far by using some deep neural network alone, although the fact that Apple had to use a 3D camera on top tells me it's not that easy.
