Project Starline: A high-fidelity telepresence system

Abstract

Experience Project Starline, the first photorealistic telepresence system that demonstrably outperforms 2D videoconferencing systems, as measured by participant ratings, meeting recall, and non-verbal behaviors [Lawrence et al. 2021]. Our prototype communication endstations combine state-of-the-art face tracking, real-time neural view synthesis, spatial audio, multi-stream compression, and a high-resolution auto-stereoscopic display to produce a striking and natural sense of co-presence between two meeting participants that is not possible with traditional videoconferencing.
