Would be funny if everyone on your screen gave a side eye to the bottom right corner where the currently speaking person is.
Jokes aside, I think you're absolutely right. Online interactions have dynamic geometry, so mounting a camera behind a screen will just not cut it, unless the entire screen is a camera. Also, some people might prefer projecting/receiving no eye contact at all, at times, in situations. And vice versa.
Philosophical stance here is purely traditionalist, it decides on behalf of people. What people would like to use, that should exist. "Videos are and will" is a strange claim, assuming its claimer has neither control over it nor any sort of affirmation that it is going to be true.
- albert_e 2y agoOnce we have technology to put a camera under a screen without sacrificing display quality ... we will not stop at one camera. There will be an array of cameras covering say every 2x2 inch square of your screen. Just see how many cameras are on todays phones. Same can happen with new camera tech too. Also there will be a huge commercial driver to put multiple cameras under the screen -- all apps and marketers can track your precise gaze. Ads will pause unless you are actually watching them. I will hate it but it feels inevitable.

- iwontberude 2y agoIf that happened I would become a drastically different person because no one may control people’s bodies like that except for themselves. God that really made me angry to read. I really really hope you are wrong.
- silver_silver 2y agoAds already pause if you switch apps on mobile, and vending machines/retail screens have had cameras in them for expression/attention tracking for years. It’s not much of a leap from there
- sgerenser 2y agoEye tracking doesn’t require that many cameras, one or two will do. Just look at the Vision Pro, that’s its primary input mechanism.
- grepfru_it 2y agoDell Inspirons have camera below the screen. It is a horrible vantage point and a reason why it is not cloned by many manufacturers
- magarnicle 2y agoBy "below" they mean behind the glass.
