This is contrasted with typical video calls, which tend to only focus on the face.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUnderstanding body language and context can be difficult with only a two-dimensional (\u201c2D\u201d) representation of a sender. Further, communication often relies on interpersonal interactions, such as spatial movements between participants. Yet communication over video calling does not provide the ability for participants to move relative to each other, as the point of view is fixed to the sender\u2019s camera. In addition, the limitation of video calling on a flat panel display introduces an intrusive layer of technology that can distract from communication and diminishes the perception of in-person communication.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this patent doesn\u2019t deal with cartoony<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leg-less avatars<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

In such cases, some or all of the 3D representation can be approximated with an avatar representation of the sending user, a machine learning estimation of the missing portion(s), or a previously captured version of the missing portion(s) of the sending user.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meta also describes how if certain parts of the body are occluded by objects or are outside the camera\u2019s field of view, they might be digitally reconstructed using AI as well. And similar to how we have compression for existing video calls, Meta\u2019s technology could change the polygon count and overall quality of your 3D model depending on which devices are involved in the call.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_this_say_about_Metas_future_plans\"><\/span><b>What does this say about Meta\u2019s future plans?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot.

But probably a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of years ago, I might\u2019ve written this patent off as just another tech company trying to call dibs on some esoteric technology. But in 2022, now that Zuckerberg has gone all-in on the metaverse \u2014 and now that people seem to actually care about VR and AR again \u2014 it seems a given that Meta is trying to make conversations in XR a thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, I need to caution that this is just a patent, and tech companies file patents that never come to fruition all the time. The patent is light on specifics, but instead broadly posits numerous ways in which 3D conversations could be adapted to work on all sorts of devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s that broadness that makes it interesting too. Right now, one of the biggest hurdles for Zuckerberg\u2019s vision of the metaverse is the fragmentation between virtual and real spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual spaces allow for infinite flexibility but require bulky, expensive headsets that isolate you from those around you. And there\u2019s always going to be a subset of the population that simply doesn\u2019t care for XR experiences \u2013 2D devices are good enough for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if the metaverse is going to become a thing, conversations can\u2019t <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> happen on VR or AR headsets \u2014 at least not any time soon. There needs to be a way to allow conversations and interactions to happen across device types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granted, Meta isn\u2019t the only company working on 3D calls.
