In a sort of reverse-Project Glass, one of DoCoMo's latest prototypes flips
its cameras back at the wearer. This hands-free videophone headset ties
together seven separate cameras, each recording 720p video from wide-angle
lenses. Aside from the single camera pointing behind the user (and beaming the
background image), the rest of them point at the users' face, recording
different quadrants. These are then composited together, creating a
three-dimensional avatar of the user that's then broadcasted to the other
caller. The model then nods, blinks, and moves -- all based on the camera
footage -- all in real-time.read
