Google announced the Starline project , which caused a sharp surge in discussions on English-speaking sites.
Technology allows you to hack perception - it seems to you that you are actually talking to a living person in front of you, who is actually thousands of kilometers away. The technology is so realistic that you want to reach out and touch the interlocutor.
Autostereoscopy- a kind of stereoscopy, in which any separating devices in the form of glasses, stereoscopes and other devices placed in front of the observer's eyes are not required for the perception of a volumetric image. The volumetric image is perceived by direct examination of a flat screen or photograph and is called an autostereogram.

How Google's Future Paints
Negotiation of a new generation.
Google uses technologies such as capture, 3D scanning, real-time compression, spatial audio, 3D imaging and 3D display.
Skeptical comment from HackerNews:
My first thought is: in 2030, when I call my grandmother from this device, I will first need to accept cookies, then accept the new Google privacy policy, then sign in to my Google account, and then watch 2 20 second commercials at the beginning roller.
Google also has VR180 cameras :
Crisp, 3D immersive photos and videos in wide-angle and Ultra HD 4K resolution let you relive the captured moments with an amazing sense of presence.
Another Google development: Immersive Light Field Video with a Layered Mesh Representation
A system for capturing, reconstructing, compressing and rendering high quality immersive video in a light field. We record immersive light fields using a custom array of 46 time-synchronized cameras placed on the surface of a 92 cm diameter hemispherical dome.From this data, we produce 6DOF volumetric videos with a wide baseline of 80 cm, an angular resolution of 10 pixels per degree and a wide field of view (> 220 degrees) at a video frame rate of 30 frames per second.
