The cameras are based on how the brain processes images
Instant messaging could get a lot more interesting if webcam technology by Microsoft gets the go-ahead.
i2i, in development at Microsoft Research labs, Cambridge UK, is a two-camera system which follows a person's movement.
It uses specially-developed algorithms to fuse what each camera sees to create an accurate stereo "cyclopean" image.
This means it looks as if users are looking each other in the eye. It can also display floating 3D emoticons.
"We were able to come up with an algorithm that was able to take two images and capture a corresponding map in 3D," said Antonio Criminisi, lead researcher Microsoft's Machine Learning and Perception Group.
"Using this powerful technology, we can now synthetically create an image as if the person is looking at you."
