Infinitus Prime VR + LightWave + UberCam = History in the making! 16-06-16 x 16K! Remember the date! History was made on Thursday in London and we were there so to speak. Our good friends at InfinitusPrime VR had a demo day on Thursday (June 16th, 2016) to international technology press and major industry players in the industry. Content from Nokia's Ozo camera as well as Liberty3D/Declaration Pictures Inc. UberCam 2.4 for LightWave was on display. It was renders from Ubercam 2.4 however that stole the show as discussed in this article on Digital Trends.



s far as we know...for the first time in history, 16K resolution content , natively generated in that format was displayed in stereoscopic on a VR HMD device that could really show it off on this date. Another world's first for LightWave3D and for Kat!

Did you know he produced the first 64bit VFX renders in LW that went to air on prime time TV during the Beta cycle of LightWave 8.5 and LightWave 9? back in the summer/fall of 2005? No you probably didn't. But don't worry about!



Every single LightWave3D users needs to understand that AR and VR combined is projected to become an global market with a value over $120B USD Dollars by 2020. At least 30B of that being VR. So what does this mean for you? It means that you need to get in on this, FAST. We want every single LightWave3D artist working and cranking out content in VR at these kinds of resolutions using UberCam! Infinitus Prime has been very gracious by providing us with this opportunity. In fact, UberCam and LightWave together using the Immersive Stereoscopic Camera found in Ubercam 2.5 is the ONLY solution on the market that can produce such material in an incredibly cost effective manner. No expensive 3rd Party renderers, no supercomputer graphics cards needed.



We've tested UberCam and LightWave at resolutions up to 30K in Immersive Stereoscopic with no problems at all. While the Infinitus Prime Headset currently displays material at 5K (stereo), their player technology can take 16K resolution images or video (in h265 format) and play it back without a hitch! So with that said we want you to start producing some stills or videos in this resolution and then contact us so that we can forward it off to Infinitus Prime . Howard Thompson, the CEO of Infinitus Prime loves what we have been able to produce with UberCam for LightWave and wants to see more. There is a bigger connection here.

The people (big frakking companies) out there looking at the Infinitus Prime tVR headset are major industrial/commercial clients. From car manufacturers to pharmaceutical companies, everyone is looking at VR and this headset as a solution to their needs and that means they will need artists who can produce content for them in this way! We want to make sure we connect talented LightWave Artists with these companies, so get in touch.
