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 Tutankhamen 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. His work has received international recognition and is often cited as the gold standard for photo-realistic digital-twin experiences. Forbes, NVIDIA, Autodesk and Epic Games have all featured the work of realityvirtual.co to demonstrate the potential of this new immersive medium.
5dVR had the privilege to partner with Cairo International Film Festival to create the VR Section during its 40th edition for the first time in Egypt. The event grabbed the audience attention and sparked the interest of filmmakers as well as celebrities. Presenting VR as the New Frontier of Visual Narrative, world acknowledged VR gurus provided a program that offered keynote speech, panel discussion and masterclass. We would like to formally thank everyone who helped make this event a great success.
How real can virtual reality get? Simon Che de Boer talks about RealityVirtual’s quest to create real-time VR experiences of New Zealand’s cultural icons from high-resolution 3D scans and photographs that capture more detail than the naked eye can perceive. RealityVirtual uses Unreal Engine and NVIDIA’s technology to process these huge datasets and make VR experiences that stand up to super-close scrutiny.
