Brahic talks about the application of virtual reality to archaeology project. The virtual reality (VR) system that will make her fantasy possible is sitting in a lab at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. It combines 3D glasses and a hack of Microsoft's Kinect to allow the lifesize images of up to six people to be beamed to distant locations and recreated in a virtual space--in 3D and in realtime. It has a big hint of Star Trek's holodeck about it. Not only does this mash-up of telepresence and VR promise to make long-distance communication more immersive and fun; it is already being applied to an archaeology project that could help reveal the ancient secrets of European rock art
