Problem
Standard video calls often lack the nuances of face-to-face interaction, leading to reduced trust due to awkward camera angles that can make it appear as though participants are not making direct eye contact. This can hinder effective communication and reduce engagement, especially in remote or hybrid meeting environments.
Solution
Pommelhorse has developed an AI-powered video processing engine that transforms the perspective and view of live video in real-time for communication applications. The technology adjusts video feeds to simulate direct eye contact, fostering a sense of connection and improving trust among participants. By enabling users to maintain perceived eye contact and better gauge engagement, Pommelhorse aims to replicate the experience of in-person communication, enhancing trust and productivity in virtual interactions. Their technology allows each caller to have a unique view of others, enabling social turn-taking in hybrid/remote meetings.
