What is 8i?
8i specializes in advanced solutions for creating and distributing volumetric video, commonly known as holograms. The company offers a comprehensive system that includes both hardware and software necessary for capturing holographic content. This involves stages, cameras, lighting, and proprietary software for calibration and recording.
Following capture, 8i utilizes machine learning and computer vision algorithms to process footage from multiple camera angles, merging them into a single holographic video file. This technology also focuses on compressing these large files into formats suitable for real-time streaming across various devices. Furthermore, 8i provides tools for securely publishing, storing, sharing, and streaming holograms to smartphones, tablets, desktops, and VR/MR headsets, with integration support for platforms like Unity, Unreal, WebXR, and 8th Wall.
