Todays video conferencing still lacks on a very important aspect of human interaction: the physical 3D presence of communication partners. Unfortunately, we are not able to transmit matter from one point to another via the internet yet. Instead technologies such as 3D capture, real-time reconstruction, high-bandwidth internet across the globe and Mixed Reality devices such as HoloLens bring us closer to the realisation of 3D virtual tele-presence. That is why it’s the perfect time to talk about the opportunity to implement computer-generated shared environments, that let locally separated people interact as if they were in the same room. In this presentation, Viscopic’s Head of Technology, Felix Meissgeier, will address the current achievements in the area of 3D tele-immersion. After an introduction into current approaches, the potential of this new way of communication will be discussed in terms of use-cases and added value for business. Additionally he will present the experiences and challenges of Viscopic Research in developing holographic teleportation prototypes.
