What Is Volumetric Video & Why It Matters To The Enterprise

Remember in high school science class learning about measuring volume? Volumetric video is a lot like that. Volume is the "quantification of the three-dimensional space a substance occupies." When we measure the volume of a container, for instance, we're measuring how much liquid it can hold. 

Volumetric video records video in 3D, capturing the object or space three-dimensionally in real-time. The volumetrically captured object, environment, and living beings can be transferred to the web, mobile, or virtual worlds to be viewed naturally in 3D. 

Understanding The Difference Between Volumetric Video & 360-Degree Video

A 360-degree video is recorded by cameras that capture 360 degrees. A person watching a 360-degree video can look in all three hundred and sixty degrees, but they don't have any depth to the image.
