So it's just a big 3D tv that doesn't require glasses. And they think we need to see somebody's whole body while video chatting at work, while they stand in some weird frame?

Apart from this not being a hologram, I don't understand the actual use of this as they are presenting it.

Why would anyone want to go stand in a frame in front of a camera while someone else does the same just so that they can both see each other's pants and shoes?

If can't transfer any information you couldnt send in an email.

This, it’s a 3D tv without the need for glasses. Really cool on its own, but not a hologram

I don't know this is just a 3d TV. I don't know what it is at all because the tech is never explained anywhere. For all I know it's a 2d transparent screen in the middle of a white box.

Yes I agree, the presented it horribly for real world use. They are tugging at heart strings to get hype and get people to talk about it. Practical uses would be University biolabs with a touch overlay, executive conference rooms, manufacturing facilities for this gs like visualizing a product before preproduction ect.

It would require special cameras on the far end so would never be used for personal video calls.
