I remember maybe 10 years ago seeing a news article about Microsoft having developed a system that uses a camera at both the top and the bottom of a screen, which can then build a 3D model of your face and reconstruct a video in real time of what your face would look like from a virtual camera in the middle of the screen.

I remember thinking it was a massive waste of computing power. And they wanted to put it on a phone.

Wasnt Apple doing this already with a single camera and some minimal machine learning to modify the gaze?

Kind of, but I think they were planning to modify more than just the eyes.

Wait until you hear about filters. Making people look better on their phone camera must employ buildings full of engineers.

Oh darn, I forgot about filters. What an absolute waste of battery energy.
