It looks like magic, when I saw the video I briefly thought it was a joke (ha-ha, they're actually in the same room!). I wonder how much of the magic is software and how much is hardware?
The video certainly plays up the software, but I've never used zoom or FaceTime in an 8k video call booth before, so I suppose I don't have a point of comparison.
- dbbk 5y agoIt's not just an 8K video call, it also has 3D depth.
- pbhjpbhj 5y agoI'm not sure it's the parent's point (I suspect it is), but mine would be that it might be you get 80% of the "it's like they're there in the room" effect by having 8k; good lighting; well-separated, good quality, stereo sound; a purpose made space without distractions; etc.? If you've only had 480/720 on a small screen, with a mono microphone with poor lighting, lag, dropouts, then just fixing those things and making it 2k+ might be surprisingly good (ie will have an emotional impact due to the truer representation)?
