Specification
Summary
Some platforms or User Agents may provide built-in support for automatic Eye Gaze Correction, in particular for camera video streams.
Web applications may either want to control the levers which can be a simple ON/OFF or an enhanced version like STARE/ TELEPROMPTER mode or at least be aware that .
This may allow the web application to update its UI or to not apply Eye Gaze Correction on its own.
Blink component
Motivation
Eye Contact / Gaze Redirection is a technique designed to help ensure that your eyes are looking at the camera when presenting in a video call.
Camera placement can determine how we are looking in the video but now novel techniques can shift our eyes and create a sense that we are always making eye contact,
which is a powerful social stimulus. That helps to create a sense of connection and engagement with the viewer.
This Eye Gaze Correction API gives developers a choice to use the native platform's API.
