2024: Announcement of the complex for 4K video conferencing with the effect of living presence
On October 18, 2024, Trukonf presented a complex for 4K video conferencing with the effect of a live presence in conjunction with the Dubai-based IAORA company . The "box" is based on the Russian VKS technology, which, in combination with the IAORA display with special reflective elements, allows you to display the speaker's 3D projection.
According to the Microsoft Work Trend Index report, 43% of company leaders believe that the main challenge for remote work is creating the right working relationship. According to analytical studies, constant video calls and online meetings can cause fatigue due to the need to concentrate on remote interlocutors and the lack of non-verbal signs. At the same time, some experts consider holographic technologies for communication a solution - they help to achieve the desired effect of communication and living presence.
Earlier, Trukonf, together with Israeli partner Eyefeelit, presented HoloLive, a complex that creates a 3D projection of a meeting participant in real time, and later a Russian company introduced a VKS device with a presence effect for users in Russia - TrueConf TrueBox.
"Trukonf" introduced an updated version of "boxing" for immersive video conferencing. For it, a transparent 4K display from IAORA was chosen, which is equipped with special reflective elements. This allowed companies to achieve the transparency effect of "boxing" and make the 3D projection of the videoconference participant even more realistic.
The basic principle of operation has not changed. A remote speaker in an impromptu studio just needs to use good lighting, a green background and a 4K camera connected to a PC with the TrueConf application - using the last video stream, it is sent to the "box" screen. Both a specialized camera and a smartphone camera that supports 4K UltraHD are suitable. The link between the conference participants, boxing and the speaker, whose 3D projection needs to be displayed, is the Russian system of combined communications TrueConf Server.
The effect of complete presence is achieved due to the design - a transparent 4K screen is located on the back wall of the device. The inside of the "box" is equipped with special illuminating and reflecting elements.
Trukonf technology is designed to provide the effect of a live presence and go beyond the usual video conferencing during business negotiations and demonstrations, speeches in front of an audience of forums and other events.
The solution can be used for online interactive meetings, including presentations, remote consulting of clients, creation of virtual exhibition halls, as well as for application in the field of telemedicine, video banking and other areas.
