> Teleprompter-like screen with a camera behind it allowing presenter to look straight into the camera while still seeing the screen
This was Apple’s goal for under and between screen cameras two decades ago [1]. The killer app is video conferencing.

- callalex 2y agoInstead they solved it much more elegantly by just live-processing the video to re-aim your pupils. They’ve been doing it for years and most people don’t even know it which is how you know they did a great job. I’ve never noticed it looking creepy or artifact-y.
- _flux 2y agoI think this is great, but doesn't it hinder the ability to naturally not look in the eyes? Or were they just flaws seen in the first demos? I haven't used this kind of system. In any case, a camera behind the screen doesn't completely solve the problem anyway, because the screen can have multiple people. For this application you need either a camera per person, or the pupil re-aiming postprocessing, to give the illusion of presence.
- cubefox 2y agoSamsung already sells phones where the selfie camera is under the screen. Since the screens are not (and cannot be) fully transparent, the image quality suffers.
