VR‘HoloPortation’
lets you Virtually Interact with People in Real-Time
Microsoft’s 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, hear, and interact with remote
participants in 3D as if they are actually present in the same physical
space.
Communicating and interacting with remote users becomes as natural as face-to-face communication.

Fans of Star Trek should be familiar with the concept of teleportation.
While current science has not reached that stage yet, something
similarly exciting is brewing in Microsoft’s labs.
The company’s latest innovation is ‘holoportation,’ achieved by the HoloLens.
Simply put, this could be our typical Skype video calls of the future. What it does is simple, yet magical.
Holoportation enables a user to appear anywhere in the world, in real
time, as if he is actually there. The user’s image is captured in 3D by
cameras placed around the room. It is then stitched together, compressed
and transmitted so someone else can see, hear and interact with him as
though he’s right there with them.
You can even playback previous interactions, as though ‘walking into a
living memory,’ and miniaturise the content to make it easier to
consume.
“Imagine being able to virtually teleport from one place to another,” says Microsoft research manager Shahram Izadi.
This technology is still evolving and is, at present, not for everyone.
Each HoloLens cost $3,000 at present. But as its usage increase,
production is going to go north and the prices south.
The future sure looks exciting.
Check out the cool demo video below and watch out for Sergio’s grand entrance at 0:13.
I have no idea what he’s doing but it looks funny!
