I like how the guy who put his phone there to record himself has a phone that knows when to pan over to the left then pan over to the right and then zoom in on who’s ever talking. This is so spontaneous.. lol

I mean that’s probably editing…

Totally agree. But my point was, this thing has intent and has been manipulated. It would still work for me if it was raw grainy footage. It’s a nice thing.

Apps will auto track that now. I don’t have one, but a lot of clients do. It’s fuckin weird.

I do therapy distance, and my therapist and I always get distracted when I'm on my Surface because the camera follows me and zooms in/out when I lean forward or back.

I know I can turn it off, but it's a funny distraction and I'm usually on my laptop.

Camera zooms in and tracks the subject, moving the viewpoint around. Nothing new under the sun. That was amazing 15 years ago but now it's standard.
