The first time I saw an optical finger print sensor under a glass display, that was my immediate hope that it would kick off an under-glass optics explosion.
> everyone gets to make direct eye contact again!
As someone who doesn't always have "good" days with eye-contact, being forced to do that feels a bit terrifying.
This is btw. a very common error bad/inexperienced actors make: they have more eye contact with the other person than would be normal in that situation. If you observe people in their natural habitat (e.g. two strangers meeting), many look at something else while talking and only have short gazes at each other in order to check if the words arrived. Sometimes there are longer periods of looking at each other but it is nearly never all the time, unless it is some sort of power play.
Gazing at people is usually part of power play or makes people feel you want the control or don't trust them. Some people will feel uncomfortable to even look at you if your gaze fixates them.
Give people a chance to have an "unobserved" look at you — this makes no sense, but might make things less tense.
