Overview
The EyeDirect Mark II is an on-camera interview prompting system that helps talent maintain direct eye contact with the lens while still seeing the interviewer. It creates a more natural, connected look for interviews because the subject’s eye line stays on-axis, which can make answers feel more personal and engaging on camera.
