Volumetric capture is the process for capturing human performances in real-time to bring them into virtual worlds. This is achieved by using multiple accurately synchronized cameras to capture the environment from many angles or vantage points. The captured data is then processed to form a 3D avatar of the subject that can be viewed from all angles.<\/p>\n
As a premier supplier of volumetric capture cameras, accessories, and software Emergent\u2019s products have been used by numerous tier 1 companies who have created capture studios and laboratories with as many as 500 cameras in a system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This system records and saves 200Gbps (25GB) per server for a total of 600Gbps (75GB) across all 3 servers with ZERO data loss thanks to Emergent’s ZERO copy technology. All cameras are also synchronized to sub 1 microsecond through IEEE 1588 PTP v2. Our eCapture Pro software and eSDK are the glue to hold it all together. Simply connect the cables, power up, and run the software. In just a few clicks you will see your data come to life.
