If you are using FaceTime, and during video chats the other person may see that you are not looking at him even though you are looking at the screen. This is a matter that bothers some people, especially between the teacher and the learner, so eye contact must be made, because it has many factors, including that it attracts the attention of others, and recently Apple found a solution to this problem in FaceTime calls, which is the addition of the Eye Contact feature, and Apple has tested it in iOS 13 beta versions, but It was only released with iOS 14. This feature works using artificial intelligence and creates a false feeling for the other party that you are looking at him, as some may see it as annoying or a bit frightening. So you can turn it on or off.


How to turn on the eye contact feature in FaceTime

◉ To start, you will need to install iOS 14 or later.

◉ Go to Settings> FaceTime.

◉ Activate the "Eye Contact" option. This is the option that will make your eyes appear as if they are staring directly at the camera, unlike reality.

The dreaded Eye Contact feature takes advantage of the ARKit suite of augmented reality, available only for iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, and SE (12nd generation) devices at this time. Meaning, any iPhone works with the A11 chip or higher. This feature is enabled by default, so you'll have to disable it if you don't like your eye positioning algorithm. Unfortunately, the iPhone X does not contain this feature because it works with the AXNUMX processor.

As we mentioned, it works by default, and you will need to turn it off or activate it yourself if you want to significantly increase your presence the time you chat with your friends or colleagues and also for more interactions between you and whoever you chat with.
