3D photography has still not really become popular. Neither has 3D television, for that matter. Google is now working on a project to make 3D images a success: Project Starline.

Google has created an advanced display that makes it seem as if someone standing in front of a similar display somewhere else in the world is present in the same room.

It is of course difficult to convey the effect properly in a video, but at first glance it looks very impressive.

You do need another new device for it. That is of course a problem that earlier 3D technologies also ran into. So it remains to be seen how often we will actually see this kind of technology in the future.

For now, Project Starline can only be used through a few specific Google offices. The project uses light-field techniques that we have seen before, for example in the products from Lytro.
