Introduction
Volumetric video technology is the process of capturing 2D and 3D objects using in-depth sensors and motion sensing techniques. The video can be developed using a 360 degree camera as it captures everything. For detailed 3D images, mesh- based and point- based scanning are used as well. The in-depth sensors and 360 degree view helps in implementation of AR or VR or other client based applications. It can be used to enhance the user experience in various spheres, for instance, during events, sports, video games, conferences, exhibitions, and several others.
Market Size And Forecast
The volumetric video market is anticipated to achieve a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2020-2028. The growth rate is expected to be rapid as technology is evolving continuously. Moreover, as a result of increasing use of technology and equipment to capture events, the demand will further rise. Further, the entire event can be covered with the help of 360 degree camera which makes it much more useful.
Volumetric videos are used to create engaging and creative advertisements. Not just advertisements, they can be used in exhibitions, conferences, promotions, to cover sports events and more. The volumetric video market is segmented by capture type, by application, by content delivery, and by region. On the basis of capture type, the market is further segmented into hardware, software and services. The hardware sub- segment is further divided into the processing unit and camera unit. The hardware segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the market which can be attributed to the rising needs for equipment to create videos and capturing images. The hardware segment is of great importance as the major work is done by the processing and camera units. Software is required only when the modification is to be done.
