I was thinking it could be used as a kind of exposure therapy to help with that aversion. At least, I’d be willing to try it out for that purpose.
And because I can't help myself from making very dated TV references:
Do not attempt to adjust your set. This is a Streaming Freedom Video bulletin. The cable hack will last exactly 60 seconds. It cannot be traced, it cannot be stopped and it is the only free voice left in the city.
That’s what I thought. But I’m not particularly afraid of eye contact, I’m just not good at it. But just reading the article with those pictures made me uncomfortable.
Maybe if it’s just one set of eyes staring at me instead of 5 that’d be better.
I have a serious anxiety when it comes to video calls. My direct colleagues know about it and don’t mind, but it is weird when having remote meetings involving other people. This is probably really harming my professional success.
So I was considering trying some Chatroulette like service to get more relaxed towards video calls, but was really put off when hearing about all the offensive sexual weirdness there.
Eyechat would omit that while still being near enough to a classic full-face video-call.
I think this might actually work as some kind of exposure therapy. I might give it a try.

Have been thinking the same.

Pretty much my thoughts (and experience) as well.
