How volumetric video brings a new dimension to filmmaking

For over a century, filmmaking has centered on capturing a flat, frontal image—until now. Volumetric video uses hundreds of cameras and advanced computing to record entire scenes as interactive, three-dimensional experiences. On a 10,000 square foot stage, real actors and actions are digitally captured from every angle, allowing audiences to step inside the story. This technology transforms passive watching into immersive participation, as shown by a reshot scene from "Grease" where viewers can dance alongside the cast.
