## FaceTime’s Eye Contact: A Creepy Feature or a Helpful Tool?
**Host:** Welcome back to Tech Today! We’re talking about one of Apple’s more interesting features—FaceTime’s Eye Contact. Joining us is tech journalist Sarah Jones to shed some light on this, well, slightly unnerving technology. Sarah, thanks for being here.
**Sarah:** Thanks for having me!
**Host:** So, for our viewers who haven’t encountered this before, could you explain what FaceTime’s Eye Contact feature actually does?
**Sarah:** Sure thing. Essentially, Eye Contact uses machine learning to digitally adjust your gaze during FaceTime calls. When you’re looking at the screen, which is natural when you’re having a conversation, the feature makes it appear to the other person as if you’re making direct eye contact with the camera, creating the illusion that you’re looking directly at them.[[2](https://macmagazine.com.br/facetime-eyecontact-iphone-ipados-18/)
**Host:** That’s pretty impressive technology! But some people find it a bit creepy. What are your thoughts on that?
**Sarah:** I understand the creep factor. It can feel a bit unnatural, especially when you’re aware of the technology behind it. Some people might find it unsettling, like a deepfake video. But on the other hand, it can also help improve communication, especially for those who struggle with making eye contact in person. It can create a more natural and engaging experience. There’s definitely a debate about its ethical implications though. [[1](https://www.howtogeek.com/705258/how-to-turn-off-fake-eye-contact-in-facetime-on-iphone/)
**Host:** You mentioned that some people might want to turn it off. Is that something you can do?
**Sarah:** Absolutely. Apple has made it relatively easy to toggle Eye Contact on and off in FaceTime settings. On iPhones and iPads, you can find the option under Accessibility, which might seem unusual, but presumably Apple intends it as an option for tailoring the experience to individual preferences.
**Host:** Interesting. So, Eye Contact is a matter of personal choice?
**Sarah:** Precisely! It’s a powerful tool with the potential to enhance communication, but whether it feels more helpful than creepy is ultimately up to the individual user.
**Host:** Thank you so much for your insights, Sarah. This has been a fascinating discussion.
**Sarah:** My pleasure!
**Host:** And to our viewers, thanks for tuning in to Tech Today! We’ll be back after the break with more exciting tech news.
