Depthkit Studio brings real people into interactive 3D worlds with portable, high quality volumetric video capture. Volumetric video is so compelling because our brains are wired to recognize humanity.
Ten years ago, the team at Scatter launched the prototype for Depthkit, the first ever creative tool for volumetric video. Since then, we've worked alongside a powerful community of creative pioneers, independent in spirit and ambitious in reach. Together, we've taken volumetric filmmaking from Eminem to HBO, from Sundance to the Emmys. Now, this creative ecosystem is graduating to full-body, 360 volumetric video with Depthkit Studio.
Depthkit Studio is available as a paid subscription license and hardware package. For those with the vision to take up the mantle and shape our industry, Depthkit Studio puts you on the ground floor of the most important step forward in video technology of our times.
Depthkit Studio is being used on professional productions today. Join us!
