"Japanese cellular operator NTT DoCoMo is demonstrating a chat system that aims to accurately portray your facial emotions online."
To drastically improve the quality of video within videoconferencing sessions DoCoMo Japan has engineered a new approach to compensate for the often low-quality, pixelated images typical of such collaborative events.
The company has in fact invented a headset that "features two cameras that point at your eyes to replicate blinking, facial expressions and skin tone in the digital world, and features a camera at the front and back for picking up your hand gestures and where you are in a room.
When your image is rendered by the cameras and projected into the digital conference, you end up looking more like an incredible video game rendering of yourself, rather than a two-dimensional human.
The addition of realistic facial movements, though, helps re-enforce the concept that this is a real person you’re talking to, rather than a lifelike avatar."
