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:

Have been thinking the same.
I have a serious anxiety when it comes to video calls. My direct colleagues know about it and don’t mind, but it is weird when having remote meetings involving other people. This is probably really harming my professional success.
So I was considering trying some Chatroulette like service to get more relaxed towards video calls, but was really put off when hearing about all the offensive sexual weirdness there.
Eyechat would omit that while still being near enough to a classic full-face video-call.
I think this might actually work as some kind of exposure therapy. I might give it a try.

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

It’s not the looking-at-th-screen-thing, but rather the switching-the-camera-on-in-the-first-place-thing, the understanding-anything-at-all-while-the-screen-is-covered-in-people-thing and the not-being-a-total-exhausted-mess-who-needs-an-hourlong-pause-to-function-again-afterwards -thing.
So no, wouldn’t be useful, I am afraid.

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.

Believe it or not, you can do this in a real conversation too!
The creator of EyeChat created some rather interesting websites on which I lost a good 30 minutes on 😅
And there goes the rest of my afternoon
What’s your kill count in the trolley problem?

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.

Idk about love but someone had blood on their face and looked like they just killed someone
