During its annual conference, Google unveiled a glimpse of the future Starline project, which will transform the images of video call users into three-dimensional images. A Google spokesperson commented on the project, saying: "Several years ago, we started a project to use a new technology we call Project Starline. This project relies on specially designed devices for video calls that present people in three dimensions."
He added: "This technology is still in its experimental phase, and it will allow friends, families, and coworkers to feel as though they are together during video calls, despite the distance between them."
Furthermore, Google states that it utilizes machine learning, spatial audio, and real-time compression in this technology to make these realistic three-dimensional holograms possible. In addition, Google claims to have developed an advanced light field display system that creates a sense of size and depth that can be experienced without the need for additional glasses or headsets.
The new system will create a three-dimensional image of the user, which is then compressed and sent to a 3D screen to give the effect that the other party in the call is actually sitting in front of you.
According to experts, regular smartphone and laptop screens will not support this type of 3D effect, and there will be a need for special equipment for this purpose, as reported by the Indian Express.
