NVIDIA makes clear that this is still in beta and invites users to test it and report any issues. There have been reports of glitches and unwanted behavior. Really love the nvidia eye contact filter very cool and not scary /qFLXFTZYD6 But whether you are a fan of it or not, the eye contact effect seems like it is here to stay. Currently, it’s GPU requirements may be too demanding for many. Some just can’t get over the weirdness of it all while others point out how this can encourage unproductive behaviors. In case the speaker looks away, the Eye Contact feature smoothly transitions to the real eyes. The eyes keep their natural color and even blink, giving the speaker realistic and engaging visual feedback. Powered by AI, it moves the speaker’s eyes toward the camera, making it appear as if they’re making eye contact. NVIDIA themselves mention how presenters will have a much easier life being able to keep engagement high while also reading their notes on the side. Another use case would be for presenting while reading.

I witnessed firsthand how some struggled with people incorrectly assuming they weren’t following the discussion all because they weren’t staring at their cameras. First and foremost, it gets rid of the awkwardness of having to look at the screen all the time to show you’re interested. While this sounds and looks weird and even gives a sort of “uncanny valley” feel, it has many potential uses.
NVIDIA BROADCAST HIGH GPU USAGE UPDATE
Their latest and weirdest update to it introduced the eye contact effect. Throughout the years, they have implemented features such as cutting-edge noise removal for both audio and video, AI-based virtual backgrounds, and automatic framing. The platform promises to turn any room into a home studio. Between working on VR technology, GPU manufacturing, gaming, and a few more, they came up with NVIDIA Broadcast. In such a broadcasting-oriented world, NVIDIA came to be one of the main players in the industry. Patients are now able to reach their doctors for online consultations, students from one country may study in another without traveling and people from all around the globe can collaborate without being in the same place. While some things went back to how they were before, others are here to stay.

While the pandemic is now behind us, the progress made in online broadcasting these few years is still vital to some professions.Įxperts say the shift to hybrid work in many industries was inevitable and was only accelerated. I’ve witnessed how new features were being added regularly such as virtual backgrounds to make the broadcast more lively or real as possible. Between Zoom, Cisco Webex, and Microsoft Teams, I’ve had my own fair share of online conferences and lectures. The pandemic changed that and now almost everyone has had experience with it. If you asked a random person what they knew about online broadcasting 5 years ago, they likely wouldn’t know much.
