Leveraging Volumetric Capture For Digital Arts, Culture & Heritage

Here are my session slides for the Metaverse 2.0 event. I shared how we can leverage volumetric capture technology for digital arts, culture and heritage digitization and the creation of immersive experiences.

4. Ralph Hollister "Extended Reality (XR) offers the potential to create substitute experiences that may be extremely useful for heritage and natural preservation."
5. What Is Volumetric Capture Session Checklist How Does Volumetric Capture Work How Volumetric Capture can transform Arts, Cuture and Heritage The Future of Volumetric Capture Technology
6. What Is Volumetric Capture Volumetric capture technology converts a person, object, or place into 3D digital data and reproduces it as a high-quality image. This type of free-viewpoint video technology captures the entire natural world and allows it to be viewed from any viewpoint. "Volumetric capture" refers to recording a physical place, object, person, or even event in a way that makes it appear to take up three-dimensional space. In the case of a recording of an object or person, this allows a viewer to rotate or move around the end experience. However, unlike other 3D systems, volumetric capture can create spatial models of moving objects and people in real-time.
7. How Does Volumetric Capture Work Volumetric capture works by using a whole bunch of cameras from a whole bunch of different angles that are all filming at the same time. Then, computer algorithms stitch the views from these angles together to create volumetric images. Microsoft's Mixed Reality Capture Studio, one of the biggest players in volumetric capture. Volumetric capture and photogrammetry use images from cameras and sensors to create 3D meshes, which can be merged seamlessly into game engines, VR headsets, AR environments, and merged-reality (MR) worlds for a deep psychological influence on users. Anywhere you would traditionally use a computer-generated (CG) asset is a great place to use a volumetric object for increased immersion.

11. How Volumetric Capture can transform Arts, Cuture and Heritage Historical heritages are human beings’ crystallisation of wisdom. However, as time went by, cultural relics have suffered different degrees of degradation. Here is how Volumetric Capture / Photogrammetry can help.
12. The Yemisi Shyllon Museum is located at the Pan-African University, Lagos Nigeria. The museum was founded by Prince Yemisi Shyllon who presented a proposal to PAU for the creation of a museum hosting works from his collection. Prince Shyllon generously agreed to give 1,000 artworks from his huge collection to the museum and committed himself to donate a substantial amount of money towards the construction of the museum building and its long-term sustainability.

17. Scanning Process Scan the objects’ surface by PRINCE 3D scanner to quickly get precise 3D data.
18. Post-process Import the 3D data to 3D software ScanViewer and generate stl files that can be directly used for 3D modeling and 3D printing.
19. 3D Modeling Import stl file to 3D modeling software for digital modeling.
20. 3D Printing SAL photocuring 3D printing technology facilities models to get ultra-high accuracy and easy to preserve.
