XR Day - Break new Ground
2022-11-22 11:00 - 21:00 UTC | Bonn, Germany
“The metaverse is coming – and it’s going to be big”: The motto was the program. At the “Break New Ground” innovation conference, Deutsche Telekom partner companies and start-ups presented their solutions for the era when the Internet and reality merge.
Take a stroll through a museum with friends who are far away? Or immerse yourself in a live concert? Show others how the machines work by means of a digital twin of the factory floor? What will the Metaverse make happen? Just as with “cyberspace” in 1996, there is no general definition for it. It is also unknown where it will lead. One thing is certain: The metaverse will be an equally important concept as the Internet. It will influence businesses and consumers in the coming years. So-called “XR technologies” have evolved to support Metaverse experiences. XR is a catch-all term for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), among others. The former adds additional images, videos, graphics and text to reality, perceived through special glasses or a cell phone. Virtual Reality brings us into a completely different, computer-created world. “Break New Ground” offered examples of both – and more.

c-tv-Konferenz 2022 - Virtual Production for the Films of Tomorrow
2022-06-02 | Campus St. Pölten
This year’s c-tv conference at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences is dedicated to the topic of virtual production. International experts will present the latest trends in moving image production.
From virtual scouting and set design to real-time on-set visual effects, virtual production, a relatively new and rapidly evolving area of the film and TV industry, has the potential to transform the industry.
“Virtual production” is an umbrella term used to describe the production of content using a combination of computer-generated imagery (CGI), game engines and virtual reality technologies. The inclusion of high-resolution LED screens and the covid pandemic as drivers have given the new production method a major boost,” says Rosa von Suess, head of educational television c-tv at the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten and organizer of the c-tv conference.
New way of working for the core disciplines of the film industry
Since the virtual production of, for example, the hit movie “The Mandalorian” from the Star Wars universe by Lucasfilm, the new ways of film and TV production have become more widely known and their efficiency has been proven. Virtual Production (VP) impacts many core disciplines of filmmaking, from camera work to production design, visual effects, animation, directing, and production planning.
International speakers
At the c-tv conference, participants can expect keynotes, discourses and best practice examples from and with experts from the film and TV industry.
Guests include:
Lisa Gray, award-winning executive producer, pioneer in innovation and VP-producer at MARS Volume, one of the largest VP studios in the UK,
Sven Bliedung von der Heide, director of Volumetric Studio Volucap, the first commercial volumetric studio in Germany; his credits include projects such as “Matrix Resurrections,” “Marvel’s The Avengers” and “Cloud Atlas.”
from Switzerland, director Alex Martin reports on the concept of multi-language drama series with VP and
Austrian expertise on virtual production comes from representatives of AV Stumpfl, Lichtermacher and Media Apparat.
Students from St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences will present format ideas for TV, over-the-top content (OTT) and mobile in a pitching session. A five-hour program of short feature films and short documentaries will showcase the latest student films.
Masterclasses will be held at the conference in cooperation with the WKO Film and Music Industry Lower Austria: The focus will be on relevant industry topics and students of the master’s program in Digital Media Technologies will exchange ideas with industry experts. Finally, there will be a get-together with a DJ line-up.

High-end Volumetric Capture for ALL
2022-05-24 | Online Event
Since 2018 Volucap has been leading the way in the world of volumetric capture and built one of the most advanced facilities in the heart of Berlin with a 3 m active action area where persons and objects can be captured realistically and in motion. Since then, Volucap worked on many high-end productions culminating in a recent involvement in “Matric Resurrection” during a 2 years intense collaboration on demanding action sequences and special effects including an underwater volumetric capture scene.
Yet high-end Volumetric capture has mostly remained rather inaccessible due to the technological investment and skills required to capture and process the actors performance…. until NOW. Volucap has in fact recently launched a new platform called 4D people. 4D People are volumetrically scanned humans for visualization, VFX, games, VR, AR and everything else. Each model contains a high-res mesh and texture sequence and can be used in all common 3D applications, no plug-ins required.
Join this live session to learn about:

The many use cases of volumetric capture from the CEO of Volucap Sven Bliedung von der Heide
The crazy stories behind the collaboration with “Matrix Resurrection” and the making of an underwater volumetric capture scene
How to start using Volumetric capture in YOUR OWN project with YOUR OWN softwares RIGHT NOW
What the future of Volumetric Capture and the underlying technologies will be

SXSW 2022
2022-03-11 - 2022-03-20 | Austin, Texas, Austin Convention Center, TX
CONNECTING TO LIVING HISTORY WITH VOLUMETRIC VIDEO

The mid 19th century saw the introduction of photography as witness to history. Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War are approachable to us in the 21st century in many ways due to the use of the camera as witness. As we move forward, spatial computing offers a similar inflection point, and volumetric capture offers a way of connecting to the people who make history in ways that are entirely novel. This panel discusses their experience with capturing legacy, and where they think the future lies.
