A Novel Real-Time Full-Color 3D Holographic (Diffractive) Video Capture, Processing, and Transmission Pipeline Using Off-The-Shelf Hardware

TL;DR

This paper presents the first real-time 3D holographic video call system using common consumer hardware, enabling live full-color 3D hologram transmission through a novel capture, processing, and display pipeline.

Contribution

It introduces a new pipeline for real-time 3D holographic video using off-the-shelf devices, combining RGB and depth data for live hologram communication.

Findings

First live 3D holographic video call demonstration.

Real-time capture, processing, and transmission achieved.

Uses consumer hardware like iPhone and commercial hologram display.

Abstract

This paper details the world's first live 3D holographic (diffractive) video call using off-the-shelf hardware. We introduce a novel pipeline that facilitates the capture, processing, and transmission of RGBZ data, using an iPhone for image and depth capture with VividQ's SDK for hologram generation and hardware for display.
