• November 2019
Renowned virtual reality content creator and photogrammetrist Simon discusses the potential of emerging digital techniques to create immersive ‘backups’ for culturally significant sites and places.
Simon’s real-world encapsulation uses 3D photographic datasets to create ‘being there’ sensations for real-time VFX applications. Building on successful projects to digitise sites of cultural significance, including King Tutankhamun and Nefertari’s Tomb in Egypt, Simon explains how volumetric capture – the discipline of capturing moving 3D content (think holograms) – will enable people and businesses to produce and share immersive experiences.
Simon is the founder of realityvirtual.co – a visual effects technology company streamlining real-world encapsulation.
