S Skype and Facetime are not enough. Microsoft is developing life-size, 3-D video chat so your friend can remotely sit across a table from you while you gab.
Microsoft Research recently released a paper describing how it can make augmented reality telepresence a reality. The setup requires three projector cameras each equipped with a Microsoft Kinect V2 camera, which capture the dimensionality of the person in front of the camera, their relationship to their environment and relevant objects in their room. Meanwhile, projectors display the incoming video onto an empty couch or chair in the recipients room.
The system can move the projection as needed, for instance if someone else comes in the room and sits where the projection is, it will relocate. But it’s worth noting, the video isn’t actually 3-D, though it gives the illusion of three-dimensionality.

Robotic telepresence remains one of those technologies that is always lingering just on the horizon; it’s going to change everything, the futurists say, just as soon as it gets here. But while several clever telerobotics solutions have come to market in recent years (Vgo and Double Robotics for instance), no solution has yet been both sophisticated and user-friendly enough for the mainstream. These robots — designed to give a remote human operator control of a mobile surrogate robot so that, for instance, a company manager in Chicago can virtually tour a factory floor in Topeka — allow users to move around an environment and interact with people and objects on the other side of the city, country, or planet. But for the most part, telerobots remain high-priced toys.
