SCENE 01 / VOLUMETRIC CAPTURE
Volumetric Capture
3D video recording for immersive experiences.
Volumetric capture records 3D performances with arrays of synced cameras. The result is a digital asset you can view from any angle. It gives you lifelike 3D content for virtual reality, augmented reality, game engines, and interactive media.
We connect you with volumetric capture studios and tech teams who record sharp 3D performances. Our team sets up stage booking, calibration, and data work. The assets then fit smoothly into your post-production and delivery workflow.

Our Process
Pre-Production
We plan the capture needs, wardrobe choices, and tech setup.
Capture Session
We record performances on the volumetric stage with synced cameras.
Processing
We turn raw capture data into 3D video assets through reconstruction.
Delivery
We tune and deliver the volumetric content in the formats you need.

Milan and Rome volumetric stages for Italian heritage and performance
Volumetric capture in Italy sits mainly in Milan and Rome. A handful of stages there run 4DViews and similar multi-camera arrays, mostly 60 to 100 synced sensors. They give full-360 capture of actors, dancers and musicians. Italian commercial work leans heavily toward heritage volumetric. The Vatican Museums, the Uffizi, the Galleria Borghese and the Pompeii ruins have all seen volumetric campaigns built around conservation. Fashion houses in the Milan Quadrilatero d'Oro use the technology for catalogue and runway-based holographic content. Music and dance from La Scala, the Teatro dell'Opera and Aterballetto feed the choreography side of demand. Italian XR studios then pair the captured assets with virtual-production volumes for hybrid downstream use.
Our coordinators handle stage booking, calibration and the multi-day capture session itself. That covers wardrobe pre-checks for shiny or strongly patterned materials. It also covers lighting that flatters reconstruction across all 360 degrees, plus quality tracking on the day through real-time preview viewers. Processing then follows with 3D reconstruction, mesh sequence work, texture tuning, and conversion to point-cloud or compressed volumetric video. We match each format to your target platform. That might be Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Unity, Unreal Engine 5, or holographic displays from Looking Glass and Light Field Lab.
We arrange Soprintendenza permits for any heritage interior shoot in advance, and ENPALS and INAIL postings cover the crew. The Italian Cinema Plan tax credit at forty per cent applies to qualifying capture-day spend. To claim it, the shoot must be set up through an Italian executive producer.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is volumetric capture?
Volumetric capture records a performance from all angles at once with dozens of synced cameras. The result is true 3D video you can view from any angle, not just a flat 2D recording.
How is it different from motion capture?
Motion capture records movement data that drives CG characters. Volumetric capture records the real look of performers—their faces, costumes, and movements—as 3D video you can play back, with no CG characters needed.
What are common applications?
Volumetric video suits VR/AR experiences, holographic displays, immersive documentaries, music performances, and game cinematics. It fits anywhere viewers want to move around and through recorded scenes.
What are the wardrobe considerations?
Certain patterns and materials can trip up volumetric reconstruction. We advise on costume choices during pre-production, where solid colors and matte fabrics tend to work best, though modern systems now handle more variety.
What formats can you deliver?
We deliver volumetric content in many formats, including point clouds, mesh sequences, and compressed volumetric video. The right format depends on your target platform and playback needs.
Where are volumetric stages in Italy?
Italy has volumetric capture facilities through our partnerships with regional studios. We set up stage access, tech crews, and every part of volumetric production.

Productions in Italy that need this often pair it with AR Production, Multi-Camera Setups, and Virtual Production for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Multi-Camera Shoots and Post-Production Audio.
