This fashion accessory and social talking point consists of two main components wired together.

1. VR headset type thing that covers and conceals the user's eyes and presents a tiny screen to each eye. The goggles also incorporate eye-tracking detectors so that it knows what direction each eye independently is looking in.

2. A strap around the user's chest which incorporates two realistic motorised swivelling eyeballs mounted directly in front of the user's nipples. Each contains a camera. Each camera feeds the headset goggles.

The user thus views the world from a widely spaced chest height viewpoint. People wishing to converse with the user need to look down to see into their eyes.

Perhaps best if everyone in a given social situation is wearing the device.

Wouldn't you have to surgically separate a muscle to allow your eyes to track independently?

My eyes don't look in parallel all the time, they converge if I am looking at something very close.

[+] I think someone should do this. If some people feel awkward, they can wear buttle bras, which are very similar but allow people to face away from each other.
