I was watching a YouTube video[1] where Trevor Noah, as a random aside about 42 seconds in, says something I thought was a great idea: a web camera that aligns with your screen, so that when you're video conferencing, you can look at the person you're talking to, and on the other end it looks like you're looking them in the eye.
I think this would make a big difference in people's lives, as eye contact is a pretty psychologically important way to connect with other human beings.
Does this already exist? Is anyone working on this?

Somewhat tangentially, what I find from sudden rise in stay-home teleconferencing is that TV hosts as well as corporate teleconferencing users are almost completely clueless about teleconferencing compared to YouTubers and streamers, people think a superwide Logitech webcam and a laptop on your lap in a bathroom is all it takes. YouTubers run Sony Alphas all day with nice primes, some even REDs ARRIs, large dia condenser mics, Shure is entry-midrange there ... So a lot is there to learn from them, especially on budget.
