The machine learning and perception group presents two new projects today. i2i uses dual cameras and stereo imaging techniques to offer a number of enhanced video conferencing capabilities. Founded on new computer algorithms, invented by the i2i team, the technology provides a virtual personal camera operator that tracks the user, panning and zooming in real time to improve the quality of visual communication. In addition, the technology can dynamically replace the background of a scene to make a user appear to be in a different location. i2i also introduces the concept of 3D Emoticons that takes traditional emoticons found in e-mail and messenger products to the next level by allowing three-dimensional objects to be inserted into a scene, such as a light bulb of inspiration that floats above the user's head.
