The technology uses various camera angles to scan in the human body and render a 3D model without the use of points on a body suit, which they were using before. Now with this scanning technology, 3D avatars of you have the possibility of looking and acting exactly how you do. The team hopes to develop it further so filmmakers can make use of this technology to accurately portray movements and characters in film by using this more efficient technology.

That is an interesting advancement in technology. On a similar note, I stumbled upon a video that coincides with the topic of high-tech inventions, and might just give us a glimpse of how sci-fi the future could be.
This video features the 360 degree Light Field Display. There is no sound, but you follow a series of progressively complex exercises that the inventor presents. Watch to the end, it's pretty unbelievable.

On a similar note, the Japanese have been pushing a form of 3d projection using nitrogen and oxygen to leave plasma emissions floating in the air above the device. It's still pretty early in development and can only create simple three dimensional shapes, but the developers are ambitiously seeking to develop it for 3d advertising as seen in near future movies like Minority Report.
