Volumetric Video

Put simply, watching a volumetric video is the same as being able to watch a theatre performance from any angle you like. As opposed to traditional 3D videos and animations, footage for volumetric video is captured from all angles and all sides, creating what is essentially a complete digital copy of the person, object, or scene that can later be viewed in a VR or MR headset. Thanks to the incredibly immersive experience it offers, volumetric video has already been embraced by MR, with one of the most popular examples being the Microsoft HoloLens headset. All content viewed within the HoloLens headset consists of 360-degree volumetric video, which lets viewers fully explore and experience the virtual world around them. That’s not to say that VR isn’t catching up though and in fact, much of today’s VR content consists of 360-degree video or 3D animation. With volumetric video and mixed reality expected to grow substantially within the next few years, we’re proud to be at the forefront of such technologies.
