Scientists are one step closer to turning science fiction into reality. A new 3-D display system developed by researchers in Canada, is able to transmit a full-size, 360-degree image of a human that can be seen without any special gadgets like headsets or fast-moving mirrors.
The futuristic technology could usher in a new era of ultra-realistic “telepresence,” ranging from remote participation in meetings and conferences to virtual on-stage appearances at concerts.
