Thank you for the hunt, @kevin ! 😎🤟 Hi there! 👋 Rafa here, one of Volograms’ founders and makers of Volu. I’m so happy to share a bit more about everything we are working on. At Volograms, we have been helping creators bring real 3D humans to their VR & AR experiences, games and other applications, for years. Since we launched in 2018, we have developed different technologies that made this easier for creators, but they still required multi-camera systems and specialised staff to run them… it was still only for high-end pros! But we decided to double down our efforts and work towards our mission of making this amazing technology available to everyone. And we made it! Introducing Volu: capture, play and share volumetric 3D holograms with your smartphone 🤨 Wait… what? Yes, with Volu you don’t need the massive multi-camera setups, green-screen studios, server rooms or specialised technicians: you just need your phone. And it’s free! — Works like a normal camera: just hit record and you will be able to capture a 5 second clip. Make sure it’s a full-body shot to get the best result possible 🕺 — Powered by AI: your video will be automatically converted into a volumetric hologram using our groundbreaking AI algorithms: we separate you from the background, estimate your pose and turn you into a volumetric 3D hologram… a vologram! All of this from one single view point: our algorithms even guess what your back looks like 🤯 — Limitless possibilities: play with your volograms in augmented reality directly within Volu, change their position in space, make them as tall as a building or as small as you want them to be 🤩 🤳 Start creating today for FREE Volu allows you to capture yourself or your loved ones in 3D, and then create amazing videos in augmented reality. It also features a bunch of 3D visual effects we call “superpowers” that multiply the creative possibilities. Our first creators have already used it to communicate with their loved ones, to replicate themselves, for fan engagement, sports, art, performances and many more. Volu is a camera for augmented reality: the possibilities are endless! 🤓 Are you a pro? Use volograms in your production pipeline If you are creating your own AR & VR experiences, video games, 3D projects or Metaverse content that requires a realistic 3D human, you can capture them with Volu and we will help you integrate them into your pipeline. Some pro users have already created amazing content for virtual fashion, games, marketing activations, 3D printing, virtual production and more! Get in touch with us here 👉 https://link.volograms.com/volu-pro 🔜 What’s next? There are a lot of new features in our roadmap that are coming very soon: — You will very soon be able to share your captured volograms with other users, multiplying the creative possibilities. — Android user? We are launching our Android beta soon, so make sure you join the waiting list and use code “PH” to get priority access when it’s ready👉 https://link.volograms.com/waitlist — You will be able to capture longer clips — You will be able to export your volograms creations directly from the app 💜 Let us know what you think! We would love to hear your thoughts! What are the key features you are interested in? What is the amazing use case you have in mind? How can we make our app better? How can we help be more productive? Or even more creative! Please, leave us a comment below, and join our Discord https://link.volograms.com/discord, where other amazing users are already sharing their creations. Thanks a lot! Rafa

Spoiler: I work for Volograms 😇 Best way to capture your volumetric/3D self! Use it in AR, games, as NFT... Your imagination is the limit! Do not hesitate to reach out. We'd love to hear how we can support you, as creators. And we can't wait to see what you are going to create with Volu!
Ruben Olthuis
Wow. I am on Android, and can't wait to get the app in the Play Store. It is possible from a Hologram to an NFT, to be used in the Metaverse?
Rafa Pagés
@olthuisruben Yes! you will be able to export your volograms soon and mint them :)
Jordi Mon Companys
Volumetric video is so important for immersive experiences that if the Metaverse is going to be successful it will be based on this technology.
Rafa Pagés
@jordimonpmm Thanks, Jordi! Totally agree with you!
Troy (Mitch) Mitchell
Do noise and sensitivity issues plague holographic data storage? Secondly, 3D holograms are difficult to perceive in the presence of fluorescent lighting. What are your thoughts on this? Congratulations on the launch.
Zack Bruce
Great job guys! I'm a big fan of anything that gives creators a new way to express themselves. The applications for this are many. Congrats on the launch!
Rafa Pagés
@zack_bruce thanks, Zack! We think the use cases are limitless!
Shreyans Jain
Thrilled to be a part of the Volograms team and build a key tool in unlocking user generated content in AR. Try it out and let us know what you think.
Jimmy Gunawan
Volu is a fantastic app with potential providing user an ability to reproject and remix their dance or other performance as volumetric in 3D space. In fact we might be seeing a preview of what is to come.
Dave Lorenzini
This is pure magic, and so hard to pull off technically. congrats. prior to this in my pocket, we would pay ~$30k/day! for a capture studio to get just 3min of processed volumetric video out. should be a game changer for new short form volumetric social, holographic how to guides, virtual production/prototyping and so much more. would like plug-ins for unity & unreal, the ability to export models, + use in tools like adobe aero, figminXR (overlaymr.com), engageVR, and webAR platforms like 8thwall, worldcast.io, zappar, awe.media & the like.

@dave_lorenzini1 Thanks for your support, Dave! :D
Susana Ruano
Very cool! I've just joined the waitlist for Android with the priority access. Looking forward to trying it! :)
Rafa Pagés
@susanar Amazing! Coming very soon!
Dave Lorenzini
near effortless volumetric capture, great performance on difficult areas (hair, clothing), free. great stuff.
Russell Johnson
I got interested in Volograms last year as a compelling new tool to create micro videos and get my feet wet with volumetric capture. I still enjoy using Volo for that, but increasingly see it as means for prototyping professional AR interactions. Really really love this app.
Rafa Pagés
@russell_johnson1 thanks, Russ! We love your amazing creations! 😍😍
