Skype is developing 3D video calling technology

In a recent interview with BBC site, Vice President of Skype service Mark Gillett said it is developing technology to enable 3D video calling.

However, Gillett added that it may take a long time for this feature to be implemented due to technology limitations."We are experimenting and have found a solution to calling 3D videos" - Skype leader confirmed.

Skype's future is 3D video calling.

However, the current hardware problems will make the development of 3D video chat not widely deployed. Mark Gillett said that to be able to call 3D video , a computer system must be equipped with quite a number of cameras of suitable size and reasonably placed in the corners to be able to take 3D photos.

3D technology after a time of fever launches seems to be gradually forgotten. The BBC has recently closed their 3D channels because of low demand. The ESPN channel then followed a similar policy and said it would only consider reopening 3D cable channels when demand is large enough.

Skype is the most famous VoIP service provider in the world. The company was acquired by Microsoft in 2011. Before thinking about 3D development, Skype said it is moving to provide video calls for Full HD quality.
