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

 

•The innovative
technology demo showcased cutting-edge 5G and 3D structured light technology,
demonstrating the potential of these technologies and exploring 5G applications
and terminals that support UR (Ubiquitous Reality).

•The 3D structured
light technology that supports diversified application scenarios will be
commercialized in OPPO phones in approximately 6 months.

May 10, 2018, Shenzhen ― OPPO Global Research Institute (Shenzhen)
announces the company 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 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 and facilitates the
exploration of new application in the 5G era.

The 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. ’

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

‘OPPO engaged in 5G research and development as
early as 3 years ago, and has been actively participating in the international
standardization to develop 5G products. In January 2018, we announced the 5G
pilot program with Qualcomm Technologies, and are dedicated to becoming the
first smartphone manufacturers to launch 5G handsets in 2019. ’ said Tang Hai,
Director of the Standardization Research Group of OPPO Research Institute.

Group of OPPO Research Institute

Featuring the
high speed (eMBB), large capacity (mMTC), and low-latency (URLLC), the 5G
technology is considered as a new start of mobile telecommunication of
industry. As early as the standardization and the maturity of the eMBB, OPPO is to
integrate the 5G network with other new imaging and sensor technologies, and to
realize the core user scenarios with Ubiquitous Reality, Virtual Reality,
Augmented Reality and Joint Reality.

Chen Yan, the Director of Software Research Group
of OPPO Research Institute

Chen Yan, the
Director of Software Research Group of OPPO Research Institute, said that the
Mobile internet is blurring the boundary between the physical world and digital
world, while 3D content will be a factor to further improve the immersive user
experience. With imaging technology and a unique insight into the needs of our
users, OPPO commits to provide innovative application scenarios in the future.
By utilizing 3D structured light technology, users will be provided
unprecedented mobile experience and possibilities such as Secure Payment, 3D
Reconstruction, AR and Gaming, etc.
