Abstract
A communication device, method, and computer program product prompt correct face/eye positioning to enable perceived eye-to-eye contact of a user of a video capturing device with camera on a same device side as the viewable display device. A first communication device includes a first display device having a first graphical user interface (GUI). A first image capturing device of the first communication device has a field of view that captures a face of a first user viewing the first GUI. The first image capturing device generates a first image stream of the field of view. A controller of the communication device identifies a look target area of the first GUI proximate to the first image capturing device. The controller presents visual content on the first GUI within the look target area to prompt the first user viewing the first GUI to look towards the look target area.
