How Does It Work?

Both models of the original EyeDirect® use a patented combination of mirror and beamsplitter to guarantee eye contact with any interview subject, regardless of age or mood. Subjects see the interviewer’s face while actually looking directly into the camera’s lens.
The video below shows how it works.
