Virtual Eye Contact and why it’s important
Delegates during an IKON Live remote workplace training course
We’re betting you’ve never heard of Virtual Eye Contact. We’re also betting that you can guess what it is, but do you know why it is essential? Let us tell you.
Virtual Eye Contact is precisely how it sounds; it is the process of locking eyes with someone over a virtual or online communication method. Why is it so important? Well, a 2020 scientific study found that virtual eye contact produces the same level of psychophysiological response as it does when you do it in person. Your brain’s autonomic arousal and facial reaction positively influence the interaction.
IKON Live, our online remote training, has been incredibly successful for many reasons, including considerations such as virtual eye contact. Our expert trainers are skilled in online delivery, and we have worked hard to continually improve the standards of our remote courses. Looking directly into the camera and engaging with delegates while accessing the session remotely is one of the key contributors to this success. We recognise that many people may prefer to attend training face-to-face. Still, we also recognise that the pandemic has shown us that there are real advantages to online delivery. We want your experience of our IKON Live conflict resolution courses to be as good as our face-to-face courses, so our trainers will guide you through a truly professional and engaging session.
Some recent feedback from our IKON Live courses:
‘I didn’t expect it to be this good seeing as it was online, but the trainer made the session really interactive and fun.’
‘This was so much better than doing an e-learning package.’
‘Being able to do group discussions and engage with the trainer during the session made this a really great course.’
