Maintaining eye contact has never been easier with Apple’s hidden FaceTime feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third iOS 13 developer beta reportedly includes a function that “corrects” users’ focus when video chatting.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a normal video call, your line of sight naturally slumps, since you’re looking at the other participant (or your own face in the corner), rather than the front-facing camera.<\/span><\/p>\n

But new “FaceTime Attention Correction” appears to use some sort of witchcraft to adjust your view for better (albeit fake) eye contact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spotted by<\/a> app designer Mike Rundle on Twitter, the upcoming feature was corroborated by Dave Schukin, CEO of AI firm Observant.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It simply uses ARKit to grab a depth map\/position of your face, and adjusts the eyes accordingly,” he tweeted on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n
