Uncorporeal Systems came out of stealth today to announce a partnership with media company RadicalMedia to capture human images for the purpose of creating realistic humans in virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.
Uncorporeal is working with volumetric capture technology to inject real human imagery into AR/VR. The tech can save months of post production, animation and stitching time for digital artists. With the tech, humans can become super-realistic holograms that designers can place in any environment — animated, game, or real-world settings within AR/VR.
