FaceTime self-view

[WingingIt]

Is there a way to see your own persona when making a FaceTime call? When people are reacting in a “oh my god, this is so creepy, never call me using this again” kinda way, I want to see what they’re reacting to 🤣

After making your persona, you see a preview where you can adjust lighting. It's a lot like seeing your drivers license photo for the first time.

I don't know if you can also see yourself during a call.

My wife was horrified when I FaceTimed her. Total uncanny valley experience.

Reactions to my persona have been very mixed. One friend described it as "creepy & disturbing." Another friend thought it was "really cool." My wife was fairly neutral on it, but was impressed by the technology.

Personally I wasn't expecting it to be photo-realistic, and I'm quite impressed with how it seems to be able to mimic what my actual face is doing, right down to the movements of my mouth and eye brows.

I agree with OP that it would be nice to be able to see your own persona during a FaceTime call however, that doesn’t appear to be possible right now.

The personas are, so far, the worst part of AVP for me. My family couldn’t bear to look at mine
