Volu by Volograms - Capture, play & share volumetric 3D holograms on smartphones

Thank you for the hunt, @kevin ! 😎🤟 Hi there! 👋 Rafa here, one of Volograms’ founders and makers of Volu. I’m so happy to share a bit more about everything we are working on. At Volograms, we have been helping creators bring real 3D humans to their VR & AR experiences, games and other applications, for years. Since we launched in 2018, we have developed different technologies that made this easier for creators, but they still required multi-camera systems and specialised staff to run them… it was still only for high-end pros! But we decided to double down our efforts and work towards our mission of making this amazing technology available to everyone. And we made it! Introducing Volu: capture, play and share volumetric 3D holograms with your smartphone 🤨 Wait… what? Yes, with Volu you don’t need the massive multi-camera setups, green-screen studios, server rooms or specialised technicians: you just need your phone. And it’s free! — Works like a normal camera: just hit record and you will be able to capture a 5 second clip. Make sure it’s a full-body shot to get the best result possible 🕺 — Powered by AI: your video will be automatically converted into a volumetric hologram using our groundbreaking AI algorithms: we separate you from the background, estimate your pose and turn you into a volumetric 3D hologram… a vologram! All of this from one single view point: our algorithms even guess what your back looks like 🤯 — Limitless possibilities: play with your volograms in augmented reality directly within Volu, change their position in space, make them as tall as a building or as small as you want them to be 🤩 🤳 Start creating today for FREE Volu allows you to capture yourself or your loved ones in 3D, and then create amazing videos in augmented reality. It also features a bunch of 3D visual effects we call “superpowers” that multiply the creative possibilities. Our first creators have already used it to communicate with their loved ones, to replicate themselves, for fan engagement, sports, art, performances and many more. Volu is a camera for augmented reality: the possibilities are endless! 🤓 Are you a pro? Use volograms in your production pipeline If you are creating your own AR & VR experiences, video games, 3D projects or Metaverse content that requires a realistic 3D human, you can capture them with Volu and we will help you integrate them into your pipeline. Some pro users have already created amazing content for virtual fashion, games, marketing activations, 3D printing, virtual production and more! Get in touch with us here 👉 https://link.volograms.com/volu-pro 🔜 What’s next? There are a lot of new features in our roadmap that are coming very soon: — You will very soon be able to share your captured volograms with other users, multiplying the creative possibilities. — Android user? We are launching our Android beta soon, so make sure you join the waiting list and use code “PH” to get priority access when it’s ready👉 https://link.volograms.com/waitlist — You will be able to capture longer clips — You will be able to export your volograms creations directly from the app 💜 Let us know what you think! We would love to hear your thoughts! What are the key features you are interested in? What is the amazing use case you have in mind? How can we make our app better? How can we help be more productive? Or even more creative! Please, leave us a comment below, and join our Discord https://link.volograms.com/discord, where other amazing users are already sharing their creations. Thanks a lot! Rafa

This is pure magic, and so hard to pull off technically. congrats. prior to this in my pocket, we would pay ~$30k/day! for a capture studio to get just 3min of processed volumetric video out. should be a game changer for new short form volumetric social, holographic how to guides, virtual production/prototyping and so much more. would like plug-ins for unity & unreal, the ability to export models, + use in tools like adobe aero, figminXR (overlaymr.com), engageVR, and webAR platforms like 8thwall, worldcast.io, zappar, awe.media & the like.

Wow! Got to try this out :)

Thrilled to be a part of the Volograms team and build a key tool in unlocking user generated content in AR. Try it out and let us know what you think.

It looks promising! 🔥

Volumetric video is so important for immersive experiences that if the Metaverse is going to be successful it will be based on this technology.

Very cool! I've just joined the waitlist for Android with the priority access. Looking forward to trying it! :)

Spoiler: I work for Volograms 😇 Best way to capture your volumetric/3D self! Use it in AR, games, as NFT... Your imagination is the limit! Do not hesitate to reach out. We'd love to hear how we can support you, as creators. And we can't wait to see what you are going to create with Volu!

Congrats the team! impressive results and tech!

Wow! Volu looks fantastic. love the UI design and the whole idea behind it. Thank you for sharing
