Virtual reality booth to come are afraid to call the

Recently held in Montreal on the IX seminar on virtual reality technology, a virtual reality project is gearing up to test the telephone booth.

Trier Oculus Rift VR glasses, stood in the middle of three devices, equipment captured Trier, the whole movement, and converted to a digital signal transmission. Developers in the other half of the room, surrounded by a 360-degree projection curtain, the images in the virtual world can be mapped out. Of course, developers will be through digital processing equipment and incoming participants where its image.

If two people on the phone is equivalent to both of us was drawn into a virtual space, in face-to-face conversation, no sense of estrangement in the phone.

This equipment is called Posture Platform, the system was originally designed in six years ago, when initially, its entry on the portrait is just a simple camera, which improved and updated, expanded to three receivers, VR equipment to receive the images more real.

Posture theory Platform can add any device, many people call developers Durand to have confidence in the device, he said the devices could become the next generation of street-side booth. Unlike ordinary phone booth is, you can use the Posture knows Platform on the other end of things, even using its remote control to work on the other end.

Now this system to capture the image of the human body is not accurate, such as the person's expression can tell. However, Lei feng's network have also been introduced to expression synchronization technology in the virtual world, it seems that future communications will be more real.

Posture Platform looks pretty amazing, but the device still has some problems, such as network disconnection, the picture there are loopholes, these problems will take time to resolve.

But the biggest problem is that when you call because you can only hear the sound, is going to make some people feel to communicate more easily, if expression can synchronize that telephone phobia will become more and more serious? If the street is filled with virtual reality booth in the future, do you dare to answer the phone? Michael Kors iPad Mini Case Michael Kors iPad Mini Case
