About Volu­cap

The Volu­cap has been an inte­gral part of the stu­dio lot in Pots­dam-Babels­berg over the past three years. The stu­dio was alre­a­dy con­side­red to be a mile­stone on its ope­ning, and it is the first volu­metric pro­duc­tion stu­dio world­wi­de with a reso­lu­ti­on of over 600 megapixels.

The initia­ti­ve was laun­ched in June 2018 after an ope­ra­ting con­sor­ti­um con­sis­ting of Cine Tech­nik, Fraun­ho­fer Hein­rich Hertz Insti­tu­te, Inter­la­ke Sys­tem, Stu­dio Babels­berg and UFA joi­n­ed forces. Sin­ce then, spe­cial came­ra and soft­ware tech­no­lo­gy has been used here at Volu­cap to record life­li­ke, three-dimen­sio­nal pic­tures of peo­p­le, pro­cess them digi­tal­ly and embed them like holo­grams in a vir­tu­al or aug­men­ted rea­li­ty envi­ron­ment. The high came­ra reso­lu­ti­on, in par­ti­cu­lar, allows for a very detail­ed, pho­to­rea­li­stic three-dimen­sio­nal recor­ding of peo­p­le in moti­on (so-cal­led volu­metric cap­tures – volu­caps). So did actors Kea­no Ree­ves and Car­rie-Anne Moss as Neo in Tri­ni­ty beco­me volucaps.
