Construct VR - The Volumetric Movie

i have a 3080 with a i91100 with 64gb of ram and this thing buffers like it's some dodgy streaming iptv. buffered about every second. the whole way through. lol the end result is worth it. download the demo st and you will see

This is the thing that I was waiting for since I played 'Welcome to Light Fields' from Google in 2018. It is nice to see fully immersed Volumetric Video is possible and real now. It does not have the perfect picture quality like the way that 'Welcome to Light Fields' demo introduced. Though, that was just a single frame. So, it is ok to have some compression or production artifacts and it has still way better picture quality comparing to the other 360 ​​mono or 180 stereoscoping videos that I've seen. I would normally consider this movie as a showcase for a new technology, so I wouldn't want to comment about the story and the filming style. But, It is so complete and better than my expectations that I will drop some notes here about the content as well. First of all the story was good as a short movie, the suprising ending makes you think about the future human life forms and possibilities. The animations, during fight scenes or emotional dialogues, they are almost flawless. Sou...

Sure, many aspects of it are impressive but €2-3 and 30GB for an 8 minute tech demo is a bit hefty.

Truly amazing immersion! You really get the feeling that you're watching from the centre of the action and even though it's short, it's proper engrossing!! Loved the feeling of depth! So much better than regular 3d movies or other 360 videos i've watched before, I mean nothing has come close to this in terms of Vr video! Thoroughly enjoyed every second of the video and can't wait for more to this story or other projects that show off this tech!

And even once more again ... I get my mind blown in VR : WoaaaaW !!! Standing Ovation !! Now I can never see normal movies the same again, I want to see all movies THIS WAY!!!!!!!! Amazing Job!!! And the low camera angles are MIND BENDING too...it is shocking the first time I saw it. Yes the movie is short but you are going for a wild ride : 11/10 Ultra recommended Also I recommend to NOT stream the movie, instead select the option to download it first entirely so you can play it locally. The quality is perfect only this way and streaming can ruin the entire experience. So strongly recommended to download it for your first time watching it :)

This is a very cool experience. It's a bit short (~8 minutes), but it's a great look at what the future of movies in VR could look like. [Mild spoilers ahead] I thought some of the camera transitions were a bit abrupt, and there was one point near the end where the camera was moved high into the sky, which I imagine would freak some people out (fear of heights). I also thought there was a lot of visual aliasing (pixelation). It might just be that my Index headset doesn't have good enough displays, although I was running at 150% supersampling and still noticed it a lot. It's strange because for something pre-rendered, I thought there would be no reason to see any visual artifacts like that. Overall, this is definitely worth the low price for a look at a potential future of media.

This is the real deal, and the future.

This is probably the best video there is, to show people the difference between volumetric video and regular 360 video (2D or 3D). Although I enjoyed this quality short, and found it to be very immersive, I would rather have seen real human actors. Using robots/CGI blurs the line with games, especially since the environment around the 'actors' (robots) is photogrammetry. I can imagine that some people would just think this a demo of a high-quality game with photorealistic graphics, and to be honest, the difference is not 100% clear to me either. First of all, the environment is digitally (re)created, just like in some games, or, like in VR demos showing locations made with photogrammetry. Parts of the environment that are dynamic (e.g. wooden planks that break into pieces) are very similar looking to geometry models in games. The actors were filmed and then replaced with a digital body (a robot in this case) and their movement looks ultra realistic, much better than game characters ma...

Even after 5 years in VR, this was one of the most amazing experiences I've had. I've really been wanting a movie going experience which fully utilizes what VR is capable of. PresenZ looks like the answer to what I've been looking for. This isn't a crappy 360 VR video that you've seen on YouTube and other places. This actually places you in the movie. The only downsides will be getting film makers to adopt it and also the volume size needed for the movie. Only 10 mins or so of video (movie and intro included) required 30 GBs. That's a lot of space to take up for a single application for such a little amount of content. The above aside, I really hope this takes off and we see more VR productions utilizing this technology.

Tried it. It stutters very badly. After troubleshooting for a long while, I scanned the discussion forums and found out you have to run the game from an SSD drive - I wish the dev would have been much more upfront about this requirement as there are LOTS of people who have gone through the same thing as I. The dev should have stated upon launch of the game, that it requires an SSD drive. Or put text to that effect on the game's thumbnail on Steam. Burying it in system requirements is just getting missed by most of us.
