Abstract:

Various techniques are described herein that provide for a real-time image or video processing system that is able to capture and stream or record/store video content of an object, and turn the captured content into a new video format that can be properly projected onto a pyramid holographic projector. In one specific embodiment, the techniques herein capture a video selfie of a user and stream it live or else store it for playback later as a saved message. Other embodiments, such as controlled avatars, animated characters, etc., may also be converted from a standard 2D format into a pyramid hologram format, either in real-time or else during post-processing, accordingly.
