Abstract: Futurists have recently proposed that “holographic telepresence” will be one of the life-changing technologies of the next few years. But what exactly do we mean by holographic TV? Did Al Gore really appear as a hologram at Live Earth Tokyo? What technologies and processes would it require to display live holograms of real scenes? Do we have to capture directly and transmit actual holographic diffraction patterns or can we use a camera array or a rangefinding camera (like a Kinect) and compute the hologram from that? And what does holographic TV have to do with standardization efforts for other sorts of 3-D TV? In this presentation I answer these questions and more.
