Interrotron

I’ve recently begun fascinated with the topic of gaze correction:

Effective communication using current video conferencing systems is severely hindered by the lack of eye contact caused by the disparity between the locations of the subject and the camera. While this problem has been partially solved for high-end expensive video conferencing systems, it has not been convincingly solved for consumer-level setups.

Here’s a compilation of links I’ve assembled (bookmarked) for future reading on the topic:

• My own teleprompter for under $40
• How and Why we created a DIY interrotron
• YouTube: We Built An Interrotron
• Eyeline Teleprompting
