Problem
Creating immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences often requires expensive and complex equipment for capturing and displaying realistic 3D human representations. Existing solutions may lack the flexibility to integrate live performances with pre-recorded content, limiting their applicability across various use cases.
Solution
HoloCap offers a real-time volumetric video capture system designed for virtual and augmented reality applications, utilizing low-cost depth cameras to create three-dimensional holograms of people. The system enables the capture and presentation of live performances within VR/AR environments, and allows for seamless integration with pre-recorded and scripted "holograms," providing flexibility for applications such as sales and VR showrooms, education, simulation and training, and film/theater previsualization. The captured volumetric video can be displayed in real-time or pre-recorded for later playback.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes professionals in sales and marketing utilizing VR showrooms, educators and trainers, and those involved in film/theater previsualization and storyboarding.
