<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMicrosoft has rolled out a new AI-powered feature of its Arm-based Surface Pro X that corrects the gaze of the person on a video call to make it appear they’re looking directly at the other participant. <\/p>\n
The trick addresses a quirk of video calls caused by people looking at each others’ face on the screen rather than directly at the camera. <\/p>\n
Microsoft’s Eye Contact relies on artificial intelligence capabilities of the Surface Pro X’s Qualcomm-made Microsoft SQ1 Arm-based processor. <\/p>\n
The feature is limited to the Surface X Pro and can only be accessed on the latest Windows 10 Insider Dev Channel preview, build 20175, which Microsoft released on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Eye Contact can be toggled on from within the Surface app on the Surface Pro X. <\/p>\n Separately, some Windows Insiders with AMD processors have run into troubles installing this preview build<\/a>. <\/p>\n “After an investigation, we have fixed an issue that was preventing many PCs, including PCs with AMD processors, from being offered this build,” said Brandon LeBlanc, a senior program manager on Microsoft’s Windows Insider Program. <\/p>\n According to Microsoft, a “service side issue” prevented some AMD and Intel devices from detecting this new build. It’s provided manual steps for getting the update on its Answers forum<\/a>. <\/p>\n Microsoft has also started rolling out new icons for its Sticky Notes and the Snip & Sketch apps that are designed to look good on the new partially transparent tiles in the Start menu<\/a>. The new icons are available via updates from the Microsoft Store. <\/p>\n Finally, Microsoft’s Chromium-based Edge browser is offering improved, quick access to tabs for pinned sites via the Taskbar. After clicking a pinned site on the Taskbar, Windows shows all open tabs for sites across any Edge windows. <\/p>\n SEE: <\/strong>Microsoft is working on an Azure-powered Cloud PC service<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The feature is rolling out to some Insiders today and the Microsoft Edge Insider Build 85.0.561.0 or higher from the Canary or Dev Channel.<\/p>\n Another new multitasking feature for Edge is that the Alt + Tab shortcut now not only shows open apps, but also opened browser tabs to choose from. <\/p>\n Users can limit how many tabs are shown<\/a> with Alt + Tab in Settings > System > Multitasking so that it only shows the last three or five tabs instead of all of them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Liam Tung<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
