Eyes-Contact: Direct Gaze vs Looking Away in Selfies

How you direct your gaze in selfies can alter not just emotional tone, but also face analysis outputs by tools like MirrorIQ. Experiment with both direct and averted gaze for a richer understanding—get all details in our pricing section.

The Power of Eye Contact

Looking directly at the camera conveys confidence and makes it easier for AI tools to set reference points for analysis. Looking away creates a softer, more candid image, but may affect feature alignment.

Tips for Each Style

• Direct gaze: Use for more precise, symmetry-based scans

• Averted gaze: Good for artistic shots or mood, less accurate AI mapping
