The HoloLens augmented reality glasses devkit has already become available to software developers for "symbolic" $ 3000. And Microsoft continues to delight us with more and more new pictures of the technologies of the future. This time, for example, the audience was shown the process of holographic teleportation, or, more simply, the transmission of a volumetric image of the interlocutor at a distance by scanning it in real time and creating a 3D model with textures stretched over it.
It looks pretty good to itself, but it should be borne in mind that such a trick is possible only if you have two rooms furnished with special cameras. At the moment, you will not be able to carry out "holoportation", as the developers themselves call it, without additional expensive equipment. But deep inside Microsoft's research labs, engineers are pondering how to bring something similar to a custom version of HoloLens in the future.
The best part is that the moments of such communication can be recorded on the hard disk of the computer, thereby perpetuating them with the ability to revise these 3D scenes in the future. This is not just a video. You can see the scene from all sides, as if to be present inside it, bypass each person, and also reduce or enlarge 3D models (at some point, for some reason I thought that Microsoft engineers managed to embody the technology from the Star Wars saga). What will happen to "holoportation" in the future and whether this technology will remain available only to its developers - time will tell.
