      I was thinking it could be used as a kind of exposure therapy to help with that aversion. At least, I’d be willing to try it out for that purpose.

      And because I can't help myself from making very dated TV references:

      'Eyes Only' streaming freedom video from the 2001 series 'Dark Angel'

      Do not attempt to adjust your set. This is a Streaming Freedom Video bulletin. The cable hack will last exactly 60 seconds. It cannot be traced, it cannot be stopped and it is the only free voice left in the city.

        That’s what I thought. But I’m not particularly afraid of eye contact, I’m just not good at it. But just reading the article with those pictures made me uncomfortable.

        Maybe if it’s just one set of eyes staring at me instead of 5 that’d be better.

          Pretty much my thoughts (and experience) as well.

          There’s the AI nvidia tool that makes your eyes always looking at the screen. Could be useful for video calls?

    The creator of EyeChat created some rather interesting websites on which I lost a good 30 minutes on 😅

    The Muslims are way ahead of us on this one, showing the way with the hijab and burka.

      I don’t think you’re trying to be xenophobic with this joke, but I feel like you should know that it’s probably not landing the way you want it to…

        Maybe I am? Maybe I’m one of those people… Better downvote me just in case. :)

          What are you trying to achieve here, “triggering” people? It just registers as infantile to me.
