We enable a face-to-face conversation by performing 3D capture of the local user with color + depth cameras and projecting their virtual copy into the remote space at life-size scale. This creates an illusion of the remote person\u2019s presence in the local space, as well as a shared understanding of verbal and non-verbal cues (e.g., gaze).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-239192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/uploads\/prod\/2016\/06\/Room2Room_highlight-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Room2Room: Life-Size Telepresence in a Projected Augmented Reality Environment\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Room2Room_highlight-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Room2Room_highlight-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Room2Room_highlight-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Room2Room_highlight-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Room2Room_highlight.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Room2Room is a life-size telepresence system that leverages projected augmented reality to enable co-present interaction between two remote participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"msr-url-field":"","msr-podcast-episode":"","msrModifiedDate":"","msrModifiedDateEnabled":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"research-area":[13551,13552,13554],"msr-locale":[268875],"msr-impact-theme":[],"msr-pillar":[],"class_list":["post-239186","msr-project","type-msr-project","status-publish","hentry","msr-research-area-graphics-and-multimedia","msr-research-area-hardware-devices","msr-research-area-human-computer-interaction","msr-locale-en_us","msr-archive-status-active"],"msr_project_start":"2016-03-02","related-publications":[238036],"related-downloads":[],"related-videos":[],"related-groups":[],"related-events":[],"related-opportunities":[],"related-posts":[],"related-articles":[],"tab-content":[],"slides":[],"related-researchers":[{"type":"user_nicename","value":"awilson","display_name":"Andy Wilson","author_link":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/awilson\/\" aria-label=\"Visit the profile page for Andy Wilson\">Andy Wilson<\/a>","is_active":false,"user_id":31159,"last_first":"Wilson, Andy","people_section":0,"alias":"awilson"}],"msr_research_lab":[199565],"msr_impact_theme":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-project\/239186"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/msr-project"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-project\/239186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":643365,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-project\/239186\/revisions\/643365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"msr-research-area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-area?post=239186"},{"taxonomy":"msr-locale","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-locale?post=239186"},{"taxonomy":"msr-impact-theme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-impact-theme?post=239186"},{"taxonomy":"msr-pillar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/msr-pillar?post=239186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
