The thought behind this project was to be able to enter past memories through photos. Less so about telepresence, but a way to allow people to connect with the past. This was made in Cinema 4D and after effects and is simply a conceptual video. To develop this I think it would be possible to recreate something similar by using depth maps.
It is currently very linear. Given for example a 360 photo as input it could be way more immersive, but given that most people don't have a 360 degree camera, I thought the current version is more accessible.
Chose a photo. Then use HiFill or any other image Inpainting model to remove subjects / objects in focus from image.
Keep two copies of the image, one with subject, one without. Then use a depth estimation model to calculate a depth map, e.g MiDaSv2.
Use image as a texture on a plane and use the depth map for vertex displacement.
