"Am I being too sensitive?"
Ya think?
I saw the ad, and was wondering what was the reason for having the device in the classroom to begin with.
Not to mention the fact that if the kids are staring at the screen, then their eyes would appear to be looking down since the camera is on top of the monitor. If they were looking at the camera (which they would have to in order for the image on the video to appear to be staring at you), then they would not be able to be looking at the opponent's eyes to see when he blinks.
Cute imagery for a commercial, but it wouldn't have worked.
