Of Wow and I Want One!

I've just seen a video that has utterly blown me away. It's a video of Cisco's Telepresence technology.



Oh yes, the presenter is talking to a hologram in real time. I have got to get me one of these!

I would love to know how it all works, what projection technology is used for a start and what recording equipment are they using on the other end. When I have a spare 10 minutes I'll do some digging for it. Unless anyone can point me in the right direction?

What would be awesome is if Bournemouth Uni would get one of these... oh no they won't because they've stopped using Cisco's experimental stuff now! ARGH!
