Holoportation: a tech in Star Wars is coming true, maybe.


Watch Microsoft Holoportation video on youtube


 Microsoft researchers created a device called Holoportation, which projects a live hologram of a person into another room. Using this device, you can interact with whomever present in real time as though they were actually there. Moreover, the Holoportation will make your meeting comfortable; you do not need to go out and fight with pressure by crowds on a train to have a discussion. Furthermore, this device can realize a tech in Star Wars; a recorded message can appear in hologram form.

However, there are still some problems. First, the Holoportation will need an insane amount of data to transmit.You also have to set 3D-capture cameras strategically. Furthermore, even if you could afford this expensive innovative products, you would not be able to see the other person's face well, since both of you would be wearing a VR headset covering your face completely.

 Although the device has many problems to overcome, it will change your life drastically and make your life comfortable. Soon, you will copy yourself like Luke Skywalker, maybe.
