DoCoMo NTT, Japanese mobility specialist, has unveiled a glasses-like headset for hands-free videoconferencing at CEATEC in Japan. Images taken by multiple, ultra-wide-angle cameras in the glasses-like frame make the far-end participant feel as if they are right in front of the user. The system recreates the participant’s face into a life-like digital image with audio information used to create realistic lip movement.
DoCoMo ultimately wants to
integrate displays into the HMD so
that two participants can have
a hands-free video conference in any
space.
A camera on the
rear of the glasses captures the
scene behind the user so
even their backdrop appears real to
the far-end participant.
