( Natural News ) A Canadian university has turned a beloved concept in science fiction – 3D holographic communication – into real technology. A CBC article details how researchers demonstrated a videoconferencing system that can create life-sized, three-dimensional holograms of people in distant locations as if they were in the same room. The technology is straight out of Star Wars, where fictional characters can talk to holograms of the other party on the opposite side of the galaxy. Called TeleHuman 2, it first debuted at an international conference in Montreal, Canada on April 2018. It is the pioneering work of Roel Vertegaal, a professor from Queen’s University . Vertegaal developed the holographic system as an answer to the limitations of current videoconferencing technology. Skype and other video calls are two-dimensional, which hinders the eye contact that makes conversations emphatic and personally involving. Furthermore, 2D video calls hamper other forms of non-verbal communication that people are unconsciously used to. The end result is that users do not feel like they are really conversing with another person. (Related: Laser holography kit that can fit in a backpack can project holograms into your brain .) New videoconferencing system creates true 3D holograms of faraway people This is where TeleHuman 2 comes in. The system is centered upon a cylinder as tall and wide as a human being. The surface of this pod is made from retro-reflective materials, which bounce light back to its source with minimal scattering. An arrangement of depth cameras takes remote 3D images of the target. The images are sent to a ring of “smart” light projectors fitted above and around the cylindrical pod.
