A former Meta engineer developed True3D Labs technology that creates 3D viewing experiences on any screen using only a front-facing camera. The system tracks head position in real-time to reproject scenes with motion parallax, eliminating the need for special glasses or hardware. It uses facial landmark detection and six-degree-of-freedom head pose estimation to treat the screen as a window into a 3D world. The platform supports volumetric video, voxels, and Gaussian splats, with APIs available for web developers to integrate into applications, game captures, and real-time renders from engines like Unity and Blender.

Ex Meta Engineer Develops Tech That Makes Any Screen 3D Using a Camera

This tech/demo is very old I remember seeing this 10+ years ago if I remember correctly interesting that its popping up now…

…until the camera connects to the cloud and “accidentally”, oopsie doopsie, sends all head recording data there, to be stored indefinitely.

This is very extremely not new. I was lead on a tech summit almost 20 years ago (in 2008) where we demoed essentially this technology using someone else’s open source code and a wiimote camera. Sure, this uses face position tracking instead of LED markers, but the core tech is the same.

This technology reminds me a lot of what is happening inside of VR Headsets.
Its interesting that we didn’t come with this earlier actually 😅

That’s cool and all
But It doesn’t work if there is more than one person in front of the screen. Or it will work for only one of them at least.
