Unlike VR (virtual reality) headsets such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, Microsoft's AR (augmented reality) headset "HoloLens" is a device that can display digital data in real-world overlay. Technology that allows you to communicate as if you were actually talking to a person at a remote place using such HoloLens is "Holoportation"is. For this, it was necessary to use multiple cameras to create 3D models of users, but Holoportation can be used anywhere on the go "Mobile Holoportation"Microsoft announced.

In order to realize Holoportation from a remote location, Microsoft has succeeded in reducing the required bandwidth by 97% while maintaining the quality of the hologram being projected. In addition, at least two cameras are necessary to perform Holoportation, the more the number, the better the quality of the 3D model to be created seems to improve.
