How to spot deepfakes? Look at light reflection in the eyes

TechXplore reports that on research led by Siwei Lyu, SUNY Empire Innovation Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, to develop a tool that identifies deepfake photos by analyzing light reflections in the eyes. 

"The cornea is almost like a perfect semisphere and is very reflective," says Lyu. "So, anything that is coming to the eye with a light emitting from those sources will have an image on the cornea. The two eyes should have very similar reflective patterns because they're seeing the same thing. It's something that we typically don't typically notice when we look at a face."
