Why 'actually'?
I think that the move is fundamentally placed in order to protect genetic engineering of sorts.
I am all for the research of cancer treatment, but the Supreme Court is basically fighting against patenting genetics and life forms.
I am a rehabilitation/social worker for the blind and visually impaired... a great percentage of the world population has eye conditions, in which eye contact is difficult as a result of poor focus, strabismus, to name a few.
When communicating with someone who is visually impaired, many other key stimulus must be realized. A blind or visually impaired person may show body language suggesting their desire to speak, or simply wait-out, at which point, people usually listen to the quiet group member.
I think that using eye-contact as a variable in online group meetings is an interesting idea, but many other considerations must be met.
