Even the big boys are diving into Deepfake tech now.
This is going to be fun.
Nvidia just “introduced a new eye contact feature as a part of the beta testing, which makes streamers and presenters look like they are fixed into the audience at all times.”
I know its a beta, but it is kinda scary how good it looks.
I mean, you literally can’t tell the difference at first glance.
You could be looking somewhere else on the screen maybe slightly to left or right, and the AI will work its magic and make you have eye contact with the camera.
No it doesn’t just recreate the eyes.
It literally using AI to apply a filter that will re-orientate your entire face in real-time.

That is why you probably need a good graphic card for this.
This is deepfake tech right here.
It is a nifty invention for a pain point most presenters face when having to speak to a camera and read from a script.
Anyone who presented in from of a screen or camera knows this.
You want to read the script, sound good and still maintain eye contact with the audience i.e. camera.
I like it.
Smart tech put to good use for a tactical purpose.
Deepfake tech is getting scarily good guys.

Pretty soon you will have everywhere from your mobile phones, laptop cameras and the applications will get more creative.
Nvidia said this:
“The Eye Contact effect can help support content creators who want to record themselves while reading notes or a script, or who want to avoid having to stare directly at the camera. With this feature, video conference presenters can look into the eyes of the person with whom they are speaking, increasing audience engagement.”
Sounds really useful if you want to record a serious speech or make an announcement reading from a well prepared script.
Hoorah for those people stuck in all-day meetings.
You can now turn Deepfake on, load up another browser or screen to play games or clear emails, while you eyes and face are seemingly fixated on the camera.
It gives “you have my undivided attention” a whole new meaning.

But is it ok to use Deepfake tech for our meetings?
When is it ok to use it then?
Where do we draw the line?
We see so many social media influencers get called out for applying inane filters that completely changes their facial features.
Is it rude, deceiving, disrespectful or even misleading?
You can bet bad actors will start using this for scamming and cheating people online.
Perhaps content creators and influencers will use it to increase their audience engagement.
Not exactly sure how it will pan out.
Currently, Twitch streamers will stare at an angle away from the camera as they are fixated on their computers as they game.
Now imagine these streamers staring directly at you for hours on end.
Creepy or engaging?
