Overview
The Interrotron Prompter System is an interview tool that helps a subject maintain direct eye contact with the camera while still seeing and responding to the interviewer. It creates a more connected, human feel on screen because the subject’s gaze stays centered, which is especially valuable for executive interviews, testimonials, and documentary-style sit-downs.
