It's cool because it simulates eye contact while simultaneously adding 10 pounds of overall weight to your body.
I'd say it's not about being polite. It's about representing reality more <gasp> faithfully.
In reality, you are really are looking directly into the person's eyes (or rather the computerized rendering of their eyes on you screen). What this manipulation does, is give the other party a better impression of what you're really doing.
Some would still call it lying. I'd say it's more of a white lie: A helpful lie.
To use a related example, compressed jpegs are, strictly speaking, lies. They're manipulated images. That said, they're good and accepted lies because they alleviate bandwidth/storage restrictions which, in turn, makes other good things possible.
No, it's not hard at all. It's quite easy to understand what they intended to demonstrate. It's also trivial to conclude that they utterly failed to do so. Previous posts have outlined all the technical shortcomings of the demo photos. I don't understand what you are missing(?) It doesn't have to do with what they are _trying_ to convey...the issue is that they didn't convey it at all, due to poor planning, positioning, expression matching, etc.
IPP has the option. I tried it and it doesn't seem to be working though, unless you need to use it portrait.
Edit: Nope, same in portrait. (yeah its the 2018 Face ID one).
FOR all the privacy concerns, I’m more concerned about honest communication. I’d much prefer that faces are represented exactly as they appear in real life, so if someone is not looking at the screen, looking in the corner, that’s fine, I want to see that, those visual cues are important in honest empathetic communication.
Yes only iPP 2018 has this feature. Air 3 and Mini 5 don’t because they lack the TrueDepth camera
What’s your point? This feature does that. If you are looking directly at the person on the screen, it now appears that way to the viewer on the other end of the FaceTime call.
If you are looking off to the side, or whatever, it still looks that way.
This feature just corrects for the fact that your camera is not in the middle of your screen, so when you look at the picture on the screen you are not looking at the camera.
Or you could have worked on getting the camera to be in the center of the phone hidden behind the screen...

No, what this feature does is give a false image of what’s going on. If someone’s eyes aren’t looking at the camera dead on, and looking away that’s fine. This fakery in communications is nonsense.
