holoportation: virtual 3D teleportation in real-time (Microsoft Research)

holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed, and transmitted anywhere in the world in real-time. When combined with mixed reality displays such as HoloLens, this technology allows users to see and interact with remote participants in 3D as if they are actually present in their physical space. Communicating and interacting with remote users becomes as natural as face to face communication.

[@super_yellow]

There's so much potential for this technology not only for personal use but for businesses. Too many times in the past I've needed to show someone what I'm working on as a physical model and not be able to interactively work with them on it. Sending pictures back and forth has just been very inconvenient. This could make that process much more productive. The scenarios where this is useful is endless especially since it can be recorded and played back. Training scenarios and practical interactive videos for museums is just the beginning

That's what blows my mind. This technology has been created and shown to the world through this video. The response this is getting is obviously very positive. It fulfills a basic human need. Now that humanity knows this is possible, of course it will get better. Boy, what a time to be alive.

[@writershard5065]

+Enter Adman It may actually be very helpful to prevent, or at least reduce the severity of mental illnesses like PTSD. Soldiers will be able to keep in touch with their family, and talk to them in an even more immersive manner, and they'll be able to keep up with the rest of the world, at least to a degree. It could really help them.

I think that shows how immersive the HoloLens is going to be. As again I might of read that gesture wrong but if I did it shows how immersive this amazing tech is going to be.

+BrandNewSongz Without greed, this technology or any other modern tech wouldn't exist. Capitalism is about people being motivated by profits!

[@MegumiHayashida]

+CenturionAlexander myeah... I gotta admit that you're quite right even though I was actually referring to all the independent creatives who take the initiative of suggesting innovative concepts through plateforms such as kickstarter. We need to support them directly. And world leaders must stop wasting money on wars in Syria for example to focus on real things. Not necesarly augmented reality but anything that can help improving human condition if you see what I mean.

+Danny Dee it's not really fair to compare the rift and hololens considering they are two entirely different pieces of technology meant for two entirely different uses, that's like comparing a toaster and a tv.
