Transgazer: Improving Impression by Switching Direct and Averted Gaze Using Optical Illusion

About

Transgazer is a system of robotic eyes that can send averted or direct gazes simultaneously to multiple recipients by switching between convex and hollow eye shapes. Convex eyes can convey gaze direction more correctly whereas hollow eyes can direct a gaze more broadly and eye contact with many people when there is a large audience.
