ARRI regards the participation in Volucap as an investment in the (virtual) future. “It is very important for us to drive forward the technological development and early commercial implementation of 3D recording techniques for the new VR and AR markets. Last but not least, we learn early on how our products and services for these markets need to be further developed,” explains Dr. Johannes Steurer, Teamlead Future Trends & Technology at ARRI.

The heart of the innovative Volucap studio—the 360-degree recording area, almost four meters high and illuminated from the outside—was planned and equipped by the experts of the ARRI System Group in close cooperation with Fraunhofer HHI. They installed a network of 235 ARRI SkyPanel S60-C and S30-C series LED spotlights around the light rotunda.
