What is volumetric video?
Volumetric video enables viewing scenes from any angle. Spaces are recorded using multiple cameras to create a complete 3D model from 2D data. Algorithms calculate geometry while colors and textures are added, resulting in realistic representations that can be explored from any perspective.

From sports stadiums to specialized studios with over 100 cameras, such as Canon’s, this technology creates 3D worlds that capture space and time digitally. A significant advantage: viewers can experience movements and events in real time from different perspectives.
- Realistic representation: Reconstruct 3D scenes from real recordings.
- Interactive perspectives: View content from any angle.
- Wide applications: Sports broadcasting, film production, and VR/AR experiences.
The Revolution through Gaussian Splatting
Despite its impressive capabilities, processing complex scenes has been resource-intensive until now. Gaussian Splatting addresses this by using “point clouds” instead of polygons or voxels. Each point stores position, color, and transparency, blending into smooth, highly realistic images.

With the Temporal Gaussian Hierarchy (TGA) approach, introduced at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024, the technology is taken to a new level. TGA segments point clouds into temporally structured layers, reducing memory requirements and accelerating processing — even for dynamic, long scenes.
- Optimized point clouds: Precise and efficient data structures.
- Consistent performance: Minimal memory load for long sequences.
- Real-time rendering: Dynamic scenes in the highest quality.
Applications in Film, Gaming, and VR
The combination of Gaussian Splatting and TGA is revolutionizing 3D content creation. In film production, dynamic scenes can be generated faster, while game developers create immersive environments with stunning details.

Virtual and augmented reality also benefit greatly: highly detailed scenes can be rendered in real time, creating entirely new experiences. Companies can develop digital twins for simulations or training purposes.
- Film production: Fast and dynamic 3D scenes.
- Gaming: Immersive game environments with maximum detail.
- VR and AR: Interactive reconstructions of reality for various applications.
Technological Innovation and Future Potential
Gaussian Splatting and Temporal Gaussian Hierarchy are more than technical upgrades — they are transforming how we view and process 3D data. From high-resolution visualizations to real-time interactions, they offer unprecedented opportunities for industries, media, and entertainment.
