Claim 0:
1. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process for providing a 3D conversation, the process comprising:
obtaining 3D conversation data comprising color information and depth information;
obtaining calibration data comprising one or more of: A) first parameters specifying surrounding conditions and/or context detected for one or more cameras that captured the color information and/or depth information, B) second parameters specifying intrinsic features of the one or more cameras that captured the color information and/or depth information, C) image noise characteristics specifying variations across a sequence of images in the color information and/or depth information, or any combination thereof; and
providing transmission data, based on the 3D conversation data and calibration data, to a reconstruction system that:
transforms, based on the calibration data, a version of the transmission data into a 3D representation by X) combining data, captured by multiple sources, from the version of the transmission data and/or Y) determining position and contour information in 3D space for aspects of the transmission data;

wherein the 3D representation is rendered into one or more 2D images; and
wherein the one or more 2D images are output by a recipient system engaged in the 3D conversation.
