Member Spotlight: Volograms for Academia in Imagine-B5G

Volograms for Academia is part of Open Call 2 in Imagine-B5G. The project is exploring the innovative application of volumetric video and WebAR to bring immersive educational content closer to a wider audience.

Utilising Volograms' AI-powered volumetric video technology and leveraging the high-speed capabilities of 5G networks, we aim to enable educators to create, share, and access immersive educational experiences with unprecedented ease and accessibility.

Volumetric video captures subjects in 3D, allowing for the creation of lifelike holograms that can be viewed from any angle. By integrating this technology with WebAR, Volograms eliminates the need for specialised VR/AR headsets. Instead, students and educators can interact with volumetric holograms using everyday devices like smartphones and tablets. This approach democratises access to advanced educational tools, making high-quality, interactive learning experiences available to a broader audience.

The project will develop a streamlined platform where educators can easily produce their volumetric videos by uploading a video with their lecture. These volumetric videos will be hosted online, creating a rich repository of educational content that can be accessed on demand. Whether it's a detailed anatomical study, a historical re-enactment, or a complex scientific demonstration, educators can bring subjects to life in a way that is both engaging and pedagogically effective.
