Hi everyone,

My name is Hanseul Jun who is currently a graduate student working on augmented reality and telepresence systems. During my graduate studies, I have been working on code related to this app since four years ago, always wanting to bring telepresence technology outside of labs.

Hope you enjoy this! You can also share a RGBD video via a URL like this example using my app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/telegie/id1593918560) using a iphone that contains a face ID camera or a LIDAR camera. As I have been enjoying reading comments from here and any comments would be appreciated!

I have to say this is amazing! Really good work.

Might I suggest slightly more interesting examples than kicking a ball from your desk. What about a cat playing with a toy? Or a model train going round a track?

[hanseul]

Thanks a lot!! I am currently working on my dissertation, while developing this system, and kicking a ball while setting up the dissertation study kind of seemed interesting to me personally but I agree that it's not something interesting for others... Next time I'll at least find a cat!!

I didn't have cat toys nearby, but I give you my yawning cat as another example: https://telegie.com/v26/videos/QyLZsSZ21xp

Thanks a lot!! This is definitely a much more interesting video and you have a lovely cat!

Awesome! It looks like we could extract the depth from the video, but my knowledge of ffmpeg is too limited for that. Do you know a way to do it?

[hanseul]

By default, mp4 files from iphones do not include depth. The RGBD videos from telegies are custom mkv files that include depth (done by directly using libmatroska, not via ffmpeg), which the webapp can display.
