Volumetric Video Editor — Capture volumetric video for Unreal, WebXR, Looking Glass

Our mission is to make volumetric video practical to capture, edit, and deploy for virtual production, mixed reality, and holographic glasses-free displays. As a step on this journey we are offering Volumetric Video Editor, a tool for Mac and Windows which processes stereo fisheye images captured with VR180 cameras, which are widely available (e.g., the Lenovo Mirage ~$200 or the Canon R5 with dual fisheye lens ~$6000+). We use state of the art machine learning to estimate the 3D structure of the scene, decompose it into multiple layers, and in-paint missing details so a virtual camera can look behind objects where the real camera never saw. Our software compresses the volumetric video, then it can be streamed or played locally using our open-source volumetric video player for Unreal Engine, Unity, or WebXR. This is useful for virtual production, where it is costly to manually create 3D environments in Unreal Engine. We make it possible to capture photorealistic video environments which can be rendered with parallax in response to camera motion. For virtual and mixed reality, Lifecast's volumetric video goes a step beyond typical "3D" VR video. It is not just stereoscopic, but enables 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom) motion for the viewer, which is more comfortable and immersive. Volumetric video editor takes only a few clicks to make a volumetric video for Looking Glass, a holographic glasses-free 3D display, using WebXR.
