Software to create 3D video for VR, robotics and film.
We make tools for state-of-the-art 3D VR video, which fix motion sickness for a more comfortable and immersive experience. Our team's experience includes building VR cameras at Facebook, and robot perception systems at Lyft and Google X.
Lifecast provides open-source software to create immersive volumetric VR videos and photos. Their tools enable capturing and editing 3D scenes from VR180 cameras and rendering for web or engines like Unreal/Unity.
Lifecast offers open-source software that reconstructs a 3D model for each video frame using machine learning and 3D computer vision, then compresses it into standard video formats for deployment on the web (JavaScript/WebXR) or game engines. It supports capturing entire scenes with background using VR180 cameras (e.g., Canon EOS R5), renders volumetric sequences in LDI3 format, and provides utilities (UpscaleVideo.ai, Volumetric Video Editor, 4D Gaussian Studio) for enhancing resolution, denoising, de-blurring, and exporting to common codecs and formats.
Who it’s for: Filmmakers, VR/AR producers, virtual production teams, and tech researchers working with volumetric video and immersive media.
