Volumetric Video

What is Volumetric Video?

Volumetric Video captures three-dimensional representations of real-world spaces and subjects, allowing viewers to move freely within captured scenes rather than being limited to fixed viewpoints typical of traditional 360° video.

How does Volumetric Video work?

This advanced capture technology represents a significant evolution beyond conventional video by recording complete spatial data for each frame. Unlike traditional 360° video that anchors viewers to the original camera position, volumetric capture creates navigable reconstructions that users can explore from multiple angles and perspectives.

The resulting experience combines the authenticity of video with the interactive freedom normally associated with computer-generated environments. Implementation typically involves multiple synchronized cameras arranged to capture subjects from various angles, with sophisticated algorithms reconstructing three-dimensional representations from the combined data.

How is Volumetric Video used?

For developers, volumetric video opens new possibilities across industries - from immersive documentaries and virtual tourism to medical training and architectural visualization - where authentic representation of real spaces and people enhances the educational or experiential value.
