Part of the centre is a new cutting edge volumetric capture system by 4DViews. This system uses 32 4K cameras to capture video data which is then processed into volumetric data. Due to the nature of this system we use a server based system rather than a cloud based system. Meaning all the data and clean up is all done in house without sending the data off anywhere.
I am able to calibrate, operate and clean data using this system, with these technical skills allowing me to take part in both student and client projects using volumetric capture during my time at CCIXR.
Below you can see a video of just some of the volumetric data that I have captured.
Most recently I was lucky enough to work once again with the Mary Rose Trust, this time at an event hosted by CCIXR for the 40th anniversary of the raising of the Mary Rose from the Solent. During this event, I ran a volumetric capture shoot in which we captured interviews with various divers and engineers who took part in the raising of the wreck, asking them various questions about their involvement and memories of the time.
Using volumetric capture these divers and engineers stories have been now digitally preserved, with the stories of their vital role in the history of the Mary Rose now digitally available for the museum to use in whichever way they see fit. It was honour to be a part of this process and hear their stories.
