New Webcam Technology

i2i, in development at Microsoft's research lab in Cambridge, UK, is a two-camera system which very carefully follows an individual's movement...

This means it looks as if users are looking each other in the eye.

Although this is pretty cool, I generally don't even look at the webcam image of others when I'm chatting with them, particularly if we're doing a voice chat. I'm usually playing chess or browsing the web while talking, but it'd be pretty cool if they thought I were paying them rapt attention instead.
