Project Starline: Feel like you're there, together
A good friend of mine at Google is the technical lead of this project (he has a Phd Princeton, and was a professor before joining Google).<p>I've tried it in person and it was truly amazing.  They used some very fancy tech when I saw the demo, so I'm thrilled it is finally being announced and possibly shared with a larger audience.<p>Explanation of why it is amazing:  It totally fools your perception. No glasses or goggles--but rather an 8k display with special glass that allows your different eyes to see different pixels (a light field).<p>They also optimize the sound, and the rest, so as all the testimonials point out, you actually <i>feel</i> like the person is in front of you.<p>It also works for the "cube" around them, so if they hold up some object, it also feels like that is in front of you.<p>Amazing...
