I don't understand why we do not yet have several notebooks on the market with multiple webcams around the sides of the display. That way a video conference with eye contact would be achievable.

Because you would look at the person in the video, not the camera.

You want transparent cameras in the display.

This has existed for TV news cameras for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleprompter#/media/File:Telep...

The trick is to put the camera behind a one-way mirror and project onto the other side.

You could find eyes in the video and alter them so that they look like user looks directly towards camera.
