Linus Tech Tips covered them before that gives a pretty good overview [0]. It's a really cool tech and I hope it becomes more affordable in the future. I'd imagine actually feeling like a person is physically present will make Zoom meetings and such a lot less boring. [0] [VIDEO]

Like other people have said, this looks like a Looking Glass dev unit or something. And here's a Linus Tech Tips video of it: [VIDEO] They have some good footage (though obviously it's setup as a hype reel too). Edit: Skip to follow for "beauty shots": 4:45 and 8:50. 6:12 for funky shot of the 'flattened' image to give you a sense of what 'trick' they're playing
