‍## FaceTime Eye Contact: A Deep Dive

**[Intro Music]**

**Host:** Welcome back to Tech Talk. Today we’re ‌diving into a fascinating feature that ⁣Apple has introduced, FaceTime Eye Contact. Joining me to discuss this​ is ⁢tech journalist, Sarah Jones. Sarah, welcome to the show!

**Sarah Jones:**

Thanks for having me! I’m excited to talk about this feature, it’s really ⁤interesting from both a technological and social perspective.

**Host:** Absolutely! So, for our viewers who might be unfamiliar, can you explain ⁢what ⁢FaceTime Eye Contact does?

**Sarah Jones:**

Sure. FaceTime‍ Eye⁣ Contact uses⁢ machine learning to make it look like you’re making direct eye contact with ⁣the person you’re video chatting with, even if you’re actually ⁢looking at your screen. It achieves this by subtly adjusting the position ​of your eyes in the video feed.

**Host:**

That’s pretty remarkable!

So it essentially corrects for the natural​ tendency to look at‌ the screen instead of⁢ the camera lens when we’re⁢ on a video call?

**Sarah Jones:** Precisely!

Apple first introduced⁤ this feature on iPhones a few years ago, and now it’s finally available on iPads with iPadOS 18 [[[1](https://macmagazine.com.br/facetime-contato-visual-ipad/) ]].

**Host:**

That’s great news for iPad users! What are ‌some of the potential benefits of using FaceTime Eye Contact?

**Sarah ⁤Jones:**

Well, the main benefit is that it can make video calls feel more ‍natural and engaging.

Direct eye contact is a crucial part of human communication, and maintaining it⁣ during a video call can help​ build stronger connections and improve understanding.

It can also be helpful for people who feel self-conscious about looking directly into the camera lens.

**Host:**

Interesting. Do you think there are ‍any downsides to using this feature?

**Sarah ⁣Jones:**

That’s a good question!

Some ‍people might find it a bit disconcerting or even creepy to see ​someone seemingly making eye contact with them when they’re not ‍actually looking at the camera.

There’s also​ a concern that overuse of this technology could lead to a sense of artificiality in our interactions.

**Host:**

Those are valid points.

Ultimately,​ it seems like FaceTime Eye Contact is a powerful tool that can ⁢either enhance or detract from the video calling experience depending on how it’s used.

**Sarah Jones:**

Exactly. Technology is constantly evolving, and it’s up to us to use these tools in⁣ a responsible and mindful way.

**Host:**

Well said, Sarah. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us today!

**Sarah Jones:**

It was my pleasure.
