3D holographic projection systems often appear in sci-fi films. The most impressive is the basement of the protagonist Tony's family in Iron Man. Using the 3D holographic projection Tony successfully designed the second set of iron man equipment. Nowadays, Queen’s University of Canada Researchers successfully developed the first 3D holographic videoconferencing system. Although they could not be used for designing equipment, the use of the meeting was quite promising. The technology in this sci-fi movie appeared in reality.
Queens University named the system TeleHuman 2. Through this system, users can instantly interact with and dialogue with the other party's 3D projections, attracting many science fiction fans. The system uses a reflective cylindrical device, plus the top And the surrounding projector, the user's projection in 3D, as shown in the VR glasses.
With TeleHuman 2, users do not need to use VR or 3D glasses, and can interact with the projection in a naked eye. If the user walks around by the projection, he can see different angles of the image, as if standing in front of a real person.
According to Dr. Roel Vertegaal, who is responsible for the research project, face-to-face communication can also convey a large amount of information outside the language. Through the TeleHuman 2 system, people can break away from distance restrictions and transmit information such as gestures, expressions, eyes, etc. simultaneously.
Actually, the previous generation TeleHuman system was launched as early as 2012. However, due to technical limitations, only one user was allowed to view the projection through the 3D glasses. The TeleHuman 2 is now available for multiple users to use from different perspectives. Very convenient.
