Eye2Eye WebcamUnlike myself, Bodelin obviously see the fact that, with standard webcam conversations, it’s extremely difficult to look at the person you are talking too as all they can see is you looking downwards/sidewards at the screen to see them. Thus, in order to look at them you are, somewhat paradoxically, actually appearing not to look at them at all.

Now to my mind, this is a good thing as it leaves one free to actually do something else on the computer as they chat incessantly away whilst thinking (ah, the deceit of it all) that they have your full attention. But this Bodelin device will put a stop to all of that as it allows you to look the person you are speaking to during a webcam conversation straight in the eye (so no more playing minesweeper which is boring at the best of times but somehow manages to take on a whole new lease of life when a family member has managed to corner you).

According to Bodelin, the See Eye2eye (SE2E) works very much like a periscope in that it displays an image of the person you are talking to, beamed up to an optical grade beam-splitting lens which also focuses your chiselled, finely honed features down to the camera unit and back at them.
