This $256,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will support the development of low-cost, live-streaming 360-degree volumetric content capabilities. Blinxel LLC will leverage off-the-shelf hardware to enable the capture of human subjects using multiple depth sensors, compress the streams into a single video feed, and broadcast the content to mobile and extended reality devices using cloud services. The content can then be viewed on two-dimensional mobile devices or three-dimensional head-mounted displays from any angle in real time, with no limits on duration and file sizes comparable to standard HD video. This technology aims to improve digital delivery of volumetric content by advancing an affordable platform for capturing, combining and streaming live holographic recordings of unlimited length over 4G networks.
