But it has to feel like it&#8217;s really looking at you. Real Eye contact.

I believe depth adds a lot to the eye contact experience. Or Adding other &#8220;movig parts&#8221; to the puppet like eyebrowses, cheeks, etc. to give a more &#8220;alive feeling&#8221;. Or maybe just even using video as the background, instead of a still image.<\/p>\n<p>I also have to investigate and find the logic about how iris get closer between them when we (humans) look at subjects that are closer.
