The Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted work by Paul Debevec and colleagues at ICT in a story on increase uses of and advances in videoconferencing technology. Debevec has built a holographic conferencing system inspired by “Star Wars,” the article noted. The system projects video onto a spinning mirror to create a 3-D image of a talking person, and the technology doesn’t require users to wear special glasses.
