Skype has been around for ten years now. Once a science fiction dream, the video calling service has 300 million users making two billion minutes of video calls a day. One problem: most of them can't look each other in the eye. Claudia Kuster, a doctoral student at the Computer Graphics Laboratory ETH Zurich, and her team are developing a way to bring eye contact to Skype and similar video services (http://www.gizmag.com/skype-eye-contact/28843/) with software that alters the caller's on-screen image to give the illusion that they're looking straight at the camera.
