Volumetric Video Editor for Mac

Unlike traditional volumetric capture systems that focus inward on a single subject, Lifecast's software enables you to captures an entire immersive scene with both foreground and background. Whether you're are a building an immersive mixed reality experience, or creating 3D background environments for virtual production in Unreal, Lifecast offers a state-of-the-art solution for photorealistic volumetric capture, editing, and deployment.

Unlike other methods, Lifecast doesn't rely on limited-resolution depth sensors. Instead, it seamlessly integrates with VR180 cameras, such as the Canon EOS R5, that offer a wider field of view and greater resolution. These off-the-shelf cameras can be used in any environment, giving you the freedom to unleash your creativity.

Powered by cutting-edge machine learning and 3D geometric computer vision, Lifecast's Volumetric Video Editor reconstructs a 3D model for every frame of your video. The software then efficiently compresses it into a standard video file format, ready to be deployed on the web using JavaScript, WebXR, or in popular game engines like Unreal or Unity.
