[Chris Harrison] and [Scott E. Hudson] have built a novel system for
faking a 3D video chat session. Their implementation separates the image
of the chat participant from the background. They then dynamically
reposition the video based on the movement of the viewers head. Their
using the OpenCV library to do facial recognition (just like the
Laughing Man demo). The 3D effect is very similar to what you see in
[Johnny Lee]'s Wiimote headtracking. A video of the pseudo 3D chat is
embedded below.
