It's not a real teleportation, but almost. Microsoft has announced in fact to the world of having created Holoportation: the system allows you to transport your virtual image from one part of the world to another and interact with distant people as you would face to face. In short, with a kind of hologram of the type those that are seen in Star Wars.
The system is based on a high definition video camera system and Hololens viewers, which, we remind you, will soon be available on the market. Holoportation it also allows you to record the holographic projections and to review them later. Will we soon totally change our way of communicating? Will Skype retire? According to what it is, yes sees in the first ones videos released by Microsoft, it would seem so.
It also seems that Microsoft is working on a viewer that combines this mode of interaction with augmented reality. Let's just hope that in the future we won't prefer to invite friends over for dinner only in form of holograms and not of flesh and blood…
