Eyechat

  • Careful doing this as there's a risk of falling in love, as per this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/style/modern-love-to-fall...

  • Another hit from Neal. I wonder (and envy, in a good way) where does he gets the time to work and all this wonderful little games.

  • Nice try, aint' getting my biometrics this time!

  • So this is what it's like dating in the middle east.

  • What we really need for this is on-screen cameras, so you can actually look someone in the eye. Now, you only look them in the eye when you look away from them at the camera. And when you look them in the eye you're just looking at their mouth.

  • To the people worried about their data being sent to google or whatever (I'm not sure what they're actually worried about) -- the extraction of your eyes is done client side, using a seemingly very well made ML model running on Tensorflow which fits in under 15mb.

    The feed of your camera is transmitted "directly" to the person you're looking at (well, no, not really directly, it uses WebRTC, so your data passes through Neal's TURN server, but do you really think Neal wants to take care of properly storing your data and handing it off to advertisers?)

  • after eyechatting with 5 people:

    * all people had brown eyes

    * all went for funny looks immediately

    * 3 of them were shocked and left

  • Is this the new Omegele where the conversations can't happen? haha

  • I remember that someone posted a very similar project here some time ago.

  • It's the eyebrow-inclination detection that really makes this a work of art. Being able to turn a serious stare into a serious aspect ratio is power I didn't know I needed.

  • this is giving me massive anxiety

  • For the shy and curious, you can use OBS as a virtual webcam. This is a good option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekQHJX9rMp8. Guy keeps winking at me and then rolling his eyes when the video doesn't respond.

  • I would love to read about tech details behind this.

  • You all are comfortable just enabling your camera for some random site so it can capture your face?

  • The name took me back to a video chat programme I remember using with my friends in the very early 2000s called Eyeball Chat.

  • It's not working for me at all, did it get hugged to death?

    I just see a black screen with "Eyes from $LOCATION" under it.

  • Suure some random site that hijacks your back button, doesn't talk at all what it is and wants my camera permissions

  • Funny

  • This is actually pretty neat.

  • This is great!

  • ...probably make it top of the internet too.

  • How is this not a torture method? Do neurotypicals think this is fun? I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.
