OPPO demonstrates world's first 5G video call

OPPO Global Research Institute (Shenzhen) announces the company successfully demonstrated the world’s first 5G video call demo using 3D structured light technology, a statement said on Friday.

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, it added.

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 utilised a customised OPPO R11s with integrated structured light camera, the statement said.

The demo collected the colour 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, it added.

Tang Hai, Director of the Standardization Research Group of OPPO Research Institute, said:

“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.”

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

“OPPO will commercialize the application of 3D structured light technology in smartphones and bring the groundbreaking technology to our customers in approximately 6 months.”

Chen Yan, the Director of Software Research Group of OPPO Research Institute, said: “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.”

He further said 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, Augmented Reality, and Gaming, etc.
