Tech Papers 2019: This paper summarises the first year of commercial volumetric video production at Volucap GmbH, highlighting lessons learned from evolving the 3D human body reconstruction workflow and adapting to customer-driven requirements.
Abstract
In June 2018, Fraunhofer HHI together with Studio Babelsberg, ARRI, UFA, and Interlake founded the joint venture Volucap GmbH and opened a commercial volumetric video studio on the film campus of Potsdam Babelsberg. After a testing phase, commercial productions started in November 2018. The core technology for volumetric video production is 3D Human Body Reconstruction (3DHBR), developed by Fraunhofer HHI. This technology captures real persons with our novel volumetric capture system and creates naturally moving dynamic 3D models, which can then be observed from arbitrary viewpoints in a virtual or augmented environment.
