The globalizing world now allows us to hold meetings on smart devices instead of physical rooms. Spending the whole day in front of a single device causes both mental and physical fatigue and boredom. This reduces our ability to focus on others during FaceTime calls. But don’t worry, thanks to the FaceTime feature on iPhones, this problem is no longer a problem.
FaceTime uses artificial intelligence to fake eye contact in online conversations, as if you were making eye contact with the other person the whole time. So how to turn on the fake eye contact feature on iPhone FaceTime? Here are the details…
How to turn on iPhone FaceTime fake eye contact feature?
Not being able to make eye contact is actually due to our human reflexes. When we see the person we are talking to directly on the screen, we focus directly on the person’s eyes due to our instincts. But to make full eye contact, we need to look at the phone’s camera, not the person on the screen.
Thanks to new artificial intelligence technologies, this is no longer a problem. Here’s how to turn on the fake eye contact feature that you may have never noticed:
- Go to Settings, scroll down and tap FaceTime.
- Find the eye contact option under FaceTime.
- Activate the eye contact feature.
- Make a test call on FaceTime.
- And you’re done.
In fact, this feature may be turned on even if you don’t realize it. Some iPhones come with FaceTime eye contact turned on as standard. It’s hard to notice when you’re making FaceTime calls because the app does it automatically when you’re not looking at the camera. It’s hard for you to notice unless you examine it carefully.
It is easier for the other party to understand than you. Because as soon as you start tilting your head forward, the feature will start activating and eye contact will not be interrupted. But if you pull your head down too far, the other person will easily notice it.
In short, this feature cannot help you take a nap in online meetings. However, if you want to catch your manager’s eye, you can make him think that you’re really paying attention. This may even earn you a nice promotion. FaceTime can be more useful in meetings than you might think.
