Well a short post for people who wonder what I do at work. So I've been researching different programs to enhance our videoconferencing abilities like web based solutions and HD upgrades. But just came past the following:
"4D Immersive Holographic Spaces will be joint multi-view multimedia-rich spaces where people can immerse themselves in their physical full body size into a joint cyber-physical space with other people, and execute physical activities (e.g., physiotherapy rehabilitation), walk around people and observe detailed full-body social behaviors and communication cues of people in real-time, as if they were co-located in the same room, even though they are geographically distributed and thousands of miles apart."
Doesn't that sound like a logical next step for videoconferences? You basically take a 3D image of a location and send it to another, add audio and full motion video to it and it's basically what we do here right now just with fancier cameras and display screens. The geek in me wants to get involved. Summer project? Hmmm... ;-)
