Microsoft rolls out improved video calling feature for Surface Pro X

Microsoft has looked to retain a sense of exclusively with its Surface devices. And when it had announced the Surface Pro X last year, they had demoed a feature which was confined to the device. And now, the company has rolled out the feature called Eye Protect which ensures improved video calling experience.

So, basically, users with Surface Pro X can make use of the advanced AI technology.

The feature was first offered to those signed up for the Windows Insider program. And now, it’s rolling out to all the users with the Surface Pro X. They can manually turn the feature off or on from the Surface settings on their device. As one would have imagined, Eye Contact will be compatible with Microsoft products like Teams, Skype and others.

With video calling becoming the go-to mode for office meetings in the work from home situation, Eye Contact seems like a good addition. Having said that, we’re hoping Microsoft brings the feature to other devices as well. And eventually look to open source it for other platforms.

But it’s not just Windows will be getting a feature like this. Apple has reportedly tested its own feature called FaceTime Attention Correction which works in the same fashion. And while it didn’t make an appearance with iOS 13 last year, it’s reckoned that iOS 14 will be getting it.
