🎉3 Life @ CASABLANCA.AI #Staggered birthday celebration? Why not! 😄 We did a staggered birthday celebration of our #founder and CEO, Carsten Kraus, and it was a hit!   We kicked things off with birthday wishes 🎂, but didn’t stop there. The following week, we came together for our #BreakfastClub 🥐 with some delicious #Apfelkuchen, a huge #PartyBrezel and the ultimate birthday #surprise: a lifetime supply for Carsten’s favorite treat – AN ICECREAM MACHINE! 🍦 😮 (The answer to “more ice cream?” is always a #YES.) Then again this week, Rick’s Cafe was open for business with our in-house Head Chef Saskia 👩🍳 who crafted three delicious ice-creams flavors, with sous-chef Param putting his spin on it:     🥜 Nutty Walnut   🍨 Creamy Vanilla   🍓 Refreshing Strawberry Mint      We topped it off with a team feast of #icecream and #waffles, inspired by our CEO's passion for icecream. That’s how we "chill" at CASABLANCA.AI! 😎     Can’t wait for more fun ahead and a few new ice cream twists along the way. Until then, stay cool! ❄️

🧠 The #Neuroscience of Eye Contact in Video Calls: It's More Than Just Looking Engaged. It's about creating a profound neurological connection. A groundbreaking research* by Dr. Joy Hirsch (neuroscientist at Yale School of Medicine) has unveiled a fascinating phenomenon: #eyecontact during virtual communication actually synchronizes #brain activity between speakers. "Interactive Brain Hypothesis" is revolutionizing the understanding of #effective communication in the digital age. Using advanced functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), Dr. Hirsch's team observed that direct eye contact during conversations triggers a level of #brainwave synchronization in the frontal and temporal-parietal regions—areas crucial for #language processing and #social interaction. This #neural alignment simply occur only with eye contact in two-sided communications. What does this mean for professionals who are in #virtualmeetings every day? 💡 Enhanced Understanding: Eye contact helps align your brain with your conversation partner's, potentially leading to clearer communication and fewer misunderstandings. 🤝 Stronger Connections: By fostering neural synchrony, you're literally getting on the same wavelength as your colleagues or clients. 🎯 Increased Influence: Leveraging this brain-to-brain link could enhance your ability to convey ideas persuasively. ⚡ Improved Engagement: Conscious eye contact can help maintain focus and prevent the dreaded "Zoom fatigue." Mastering the neuroscience of eye contact could be your secret weapon for standing out in virtual meetings. What do you think?

💎1 Life @CASABLANCA.AI Happy Birthday to the one and only Livia! 🎂🎉 Thanks for giving us a solid reason to eat cake on a Tuesday which we kicked off with a celebration, balloons, and a few terrible renditions of "Happy Birthday" from the team. (Oops, our musical talents are still in #beta!) 🎶😂🎉🎈 But the party doesn't stop there!🥁 "The Breakfast Club" has officially moved to #Tuesdays, so no more waiting until midweek for your morning pastry fix. Now you can roll into the office on a Tuesday morning, grab a croissant, and start the day like a #breakfastchampion. 🥐🏆 Meanwhile, the office is buzzing with activity—we’re knee-deep in projects, inching closer and closer to the launch of our exciting #newversion. 🚀 Uff, the energy is through the roof! And while we’re on the grind, we’re also looking forward to some much-needed #sunshine, #pool dives, and just soaking up those rays while we can. 🌞🏊♂️ Here’s to another week of hard work, fun, and a whole lot of #teamspirit.

One of the biggest hits or misses while making an impression in online meetings is...yes, you got it: "𝐄𝐲𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭."  👀✨    A study* led by Prof. Yamane and Associate Prof. Shinya had some interesting findings from Hiroshima University: “When you look at the camera, you come across as more connected, socially appropriate, and qualified”. This study just highlights how important non-verbal cues are in our digital interactions. It isn’t just about what you say or talk about but it’s also about how you look while you talk about it.  🤔💬    At CASABLANCA.AI, we’re all about making virtual communication #authentic by bringing face-to-face connection in video calls purely with software (and no additional hardware). Whether you're on #Zoom, #Teams, or #GoogleMeet, our Virtual Camera ensures you make that impactful connection every time.    🔍👇Ready to make a difference?

The lack of face-to-face interaction often times leads to misunderstandings and weakened connections. CASABLANCA.AI helps you to bring your actual facial expressions in videocalls hence building stronger, more authentic relationships.

Durch die Vielzahl an digitalen Konferenzen, Seminaren oder anderen Online-Meetings manifestiert sich bei vielen ein Zustand der Erschöpfung in Verbindung mit Konzentrationsschwierigkeiten, Ungeduld, Reizbarkeit oder anderen physischen Symptomen wie etwa Kopf- und Rückenschmerzen. "Zoom-Fatigue" (Videokonferenz-Erschöpfung) nennt sich dieses neue medizinische Problem. Auf Vital-Region.de erklärt Markus Vollmer, COO und Co-Founder der CASABLANCA.AI GmbH aus Pforzheim, was sich dahinter verbirgt und welche Software das Erlebnis einer Videokonferenz angenehmer und letztlich entspannender, gesünder macht.
