Apple Introduces FaceTime Attention Correction Feature in iPhone XS Series


Apple has just released iOS 13 recently and included a new feature known as ‘FaceTime Attention Correction’ which adjusts the eyes of the person making FaceTming even when a person is looking at the screen rather than focusing on the camera.

Naturally, a user looks at the phone's screen to see another person when making FaceTime calls rather then the camera of the phone which means you are not making eye contact with the camera.

Mike Rundell has discovered this feature and it included in new iOS 13 as a FaceTime Attention Correction feature. Though it was introduced in iOS the feature was disabled in the former operating system allowing users to make eye contact with the help of software. This new feature is only available in iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and iPhone XS Max but hopefully, it will work on other models as well in the future.

The new feature reportedly worked well during the test and it will definitely change the experience of users. Experts believe the feature uses an ARKit depth map to change the position of the eyes and adjust them with the person you are talking to. However, many users have found slight eye wrapping during the test and the feature only works when enables in the iPhone.

Users have overwhelmingly responded to the news and termed the feature as useless because it has nothing to do with the performance of the phone, but they say this is just another way of marketing by the companies and nothing significant in it.
