How about using a stripped down version of such a system to re-target just the eyes of a person in a video chat? Could this be used to solve the "not looking into cam, thus not looking at me" issues in video chats today?
- kszx 12y agoIs this "issue" a bug or a feature? Isn't it very liberating that people can't see whether you're looking at them or not?
- NeutronBoy 12y agoPointernil is referring to the effect when you video conference with someone and they're talking, and looking at the TV screen (ie 'at' the other people). Since the camera is off-centre from the TV, it looks like they're not looking directly at the audience. While it's unintended, it's quite distracting.
- pointernil 12y agoYes. Thanks for the better description of the issue. Cheers
- mistercow 12y agoSeems like what you need for that is a lot simpler. You really just need to be able to cut out and redraw the iris and pupil in a different position. The rest of the face shouldn't need to change at all.
- Mithaldu 12y agoThat isn't all that's needed. When i skype with my family i do notice that the entire shape of my eyes looks different when i look at the screen vs. looking at the camera.
- pointernil 12y agoYes, so it would need more than re-targeting the eyes, but maybe still less than being able to apply an arbitrary expression... Could be fun for Chat-Masks with Facial-Expressions though. Ready Player One / OASIS here we come ;)
