How to Create Volumetric Video

Capturing: 

To create volumetric video, capturing the content with a depth camera. 

Processing:

Load the content into 3D program to edit the materials, coordinates, and settings to achieve the aesthetic direction desired.  the footage is converted into a 3d point cloud, which is a set of 3D points that represent the subject’s shape and movement.

Reconstruction:

Next, reconstruct the 3D model from the point cloud with an algorithm that fill textures, materials, shaders. 

Capturing Encoding:

The 3D model is then encoded into a format to play back in real-time. This format includes information about the subject’s shape, movement, and appearance.

Playback:

Play back is on video, in a VR headset or via AR glasses. The viewer can move around the 3D space and see the subject from different angles, creating a highly immersive, holographic video experience.
