You may give the list of possibilities on how the augmented reality improves our lives, soon to offer eye contact.
In Beta versions of iOS 13, FaceTime contained a brand new function called “attention correction”, which corrects the user's gaze as in the event that they maintain eye contact with parties at the opposite end of the video call. The latest Facetime function was missing within the stable publication of iOS 13 and subsequent iOS 13 -updates. Apple finally brought it back into the stable iOS 14 version.
Obviously, the key sauce of the magic trick was none aside from Apple's native augmented reality toolkit arkit. According to Dave Schukin, co-founder of Observant AI, the brand new attention correction function used the face tracking skills of ARKIT and the deep-sensing forces of the iPhone to practically change the attention position of the user.
Schukin, whose company develops technology that follows the view of a driver, shared the invention on Twitter through the beta phase of iOS 13. By handing over an object in front of his face, it seems that the eyes move across the eyes that FaceTime uses a virtual mask to create the illusion of undivided attention.
In response to a different Twitter user, Schukin confirmed that the effect was like a Snapchat filter, but because of the Tredepth camera on the iPhone X, XS and 11 series.
If we now have space for one more analogy, it is sort of a high-tech version wherein you draw your eyes in your eyelids in order that your teacher doesn’t consider that you simply sleep in school. In addition, it’s a really clever application of the augmented reality normally, wherein the final word advantages should not the technology itself, however the result that it generates.
In other words, while facial filters are fun, give me something really useful, just like the attention correction! We should not sure whether Apple is planning so as to add the function in a future update to iOS again.
