Same here. I assume a thinking pose and look at a corner in the room - that should signal that at least my attention hasn't strayed elsewhere more significant.
My another strategy is to make occasional eye contact while blurring my vision. To them, I'm making eye contact, whereas for me, it's not that different when I'm looking at the corner.
