Oppo Announces the World’s First 5G Video Call Demo Using 3D Structured Light Technology

OPPO Global Research Institute (Shenzhen) successfully demonstrated the world’s first 5G video call demo using 3D Structured Light Technology. The demonstration reproduced a 3D portrait image on a remote receiver using portrait information collected with a structured-light 3D camera of an OPPO phone and 5G NR terminal prototypes from Qualcomm Technologies. The success of this innovative technology demo marks a milestone in applying 5G technology standards to real practices in the industry.

OPPO’s demonstration, 5G Video Call with 3D Structured Light Technology, utilized a customized OPPO R11s with integrated structured light camera. The demo collected the color and 3D depth information of the target object by using RGB and the structured light camera of the phone. This information, transmitted under a 5G environment, finally displayed the target object in a remote display screen.

3D dynamic modeling is the basis for 3D video calling

Bai Jian, the Director of the Hardware Research Center of OPPO Research Institute, said,

‘The success of the 5G video call utilizing 3D structure light technology demonstrates our innovation direction powered by the understanding of users’ need and cutting-edge technology. OPPO will commercialize the application of 3D structured light technology in smartphones and bring the groundbreaking technology to our customers in approximately 6 months. ’
