The line between the real and the digital world is getting thinner and thinner. Mixed, Virtual and Augmented Reality are increasingly mixing with our ‘true’ reality. Technology coupled with great possibilities to tell beautiful stories, with a leading role for 3-dimensional, digital people.
What are the possibilities of Volumetric Video Capture? What are the limitations, what are the changes and what effect do digital have on a real-life audience? A new form technology like Volumetric Video Capture carries unsuspected sides.
Chronosphere
Chronosphere offers the opportunity to explore and validate all these questions within the professional surroundings of 4DR Studios at the Effenaar. A unique, worldwide unrivalled structure. No other initiative connects the creative industry and scientific research the way Chronosphere does.

Chronosphere unites creative content creators, relevant research institutes and industry to explore this new digital reality and push boundaries together. By offering plenty of opportunities to experiment and share experiences in a professional environment. Volumetric Video Capture technology makes it possible to film a person in 3D down to the smallest detail, barely distinguishable from a real person. A credible digital person, trusted by the general public.
Chronosphere works closely with 4DR Studios, one of the few Volumetric Video Studios worldwide (and the only one in the Benelux) to offer this advanced technology. Chronosphere is an R&D program of Effenaar Smart Venue and investigates virtual beings with volumetric video. Chronosphere is supported by ClickNL/RVO, Metropoolregio Eindhoven and 4DR Studios.
