Researchers from NYU are determined to surmount these challenges by “reducing bandwidth consumption and delivery latency, and increasing power consumption efficiency so that PCVs can be streamed far more easily,” as outlined in an NYU Engineering blog post. Project leader Yong Liu, a professor in NYU’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is optimistic about the possibilities, stating, “With recent advances in the key enabling technologies, we are now at the verge of completing the puzzle of teleporting holograms of real-world humans, creatures, and objects through the global Internet.”
Engadget reached out to the project leader to inquire whether generative AI tools, such as the one developed by OpenAI last year for creating 3D point clouds from text prompts, are part of the process. Further details will be provided if received.
