Overview

Casablanca is an AI-based tool designed to enhance the quality of video calls by incorporating authentic eye contact. It runs on both Windows and Mac and is built to work with all video conferencing platforms.

Casablanca aims to replace the cold distance of traditional video calling with more realistic facial expressions and genuine interactions. The tool corrects your gaze so that it appears you are looking directly at your conversation partner, adding a level of realism and authenticity to digital conversations.

Notably, Casablanca adjusts the entire head, not just the eyes. This means that even if you are looking at a second screen, the software will 'frontalize' your face for an optimal alignment in the video.An important feature is the non-permanent staring.

This means that if you look away in real-life, your gaze direction in the video will change accordingly, emulating a natural conversation. Overall, Casablanca is focused on creating a real, authentic connection in video calls by mimicking the natural behavior of eye contact and facial movements.

The tool is currently in a closed beta phase, and interested users can join a waitlist for access.

yas is the most important thing to me

Guy Vago Nov 18, 2024 v@ initial release

I'm using a 27" screen. with a pro logitec webcam. If it's mounted on top, it's way to high, if it's below the screen, it's way to low.
I've also tried boom arms and other gadgets to put the cam in the middle of the screen, however, while it's a good temporary solution, it's blocking my screen and instead of looking at the person, i'm watching my cam... Casablanca is a great alternative and while it was glitchy at 1st, it is now stable and a great alternative that just works.
Not sure why Google, Zoom and others haven't implemented this option OOTB. Way to go Casablanca!
