Volumetric Video Eng Free Course & Curriculum

Volumetric Video Eng

Capture reality in 3D. Master photogrammetry, point clouds, and Gaussian Splatting for holographic VR/AR experiences.

Video is flat; Volumetric Video is spatial. This course teaches the pipeline for capturing real-world people and places into 3D. You will learn Photogrammetry basics, handle Lidar point clouds, and master the cutting-edge Gaussian Splatting technique for real-time rendering. We cover compression standards for streaming 3D video and integrating these assets into Unity or Unreal for VR/AR. The future of memories and telepresence.
