Microsoft selects Arcturus as go-to-market partner

2023年8月10日——体积视频技术提供商ArcturusAnnounced today, has been selected as the Microsoft Mixed Reality Capture Studio (MRCS) solution listing partner. According to Arcturus, the solution features an advanced 3D capture and reconstruction system, paired with editing and streaming tools, enabling content creators to harness the power of volumetric video and get a complete capture solution.

MRCS software provides a capture solution that uses more than 100 cameras working in tandem to capture moving subjects from multiple angles. The data is processed through sophisticated reconstruction software to create high-quality and photorealistic 3D video. This generated content can be used for a variety of purposes, fromVFXTo live broadcast, to mixed reality (MR) and more. In the coming months, MRCS technology will be integrated with Arcturus'HoloSuiteTool integration that enables users to capture captured data and edit it. Users can then stream the compressed version to any device in the same process without loss of quality.

Arcturus CEO Kamal Mistry said: "Arcturus has been working on MR and volumetric video for ten years, and our main goal has always been to advance the progress of the entire volumetric production process." "MRCS technology gives us the opportunity to cooperate with the world's leading creators and studios. By working with them, we will find more comprehensive solutions that can help make volumetric technology more accessible and provide more options for how it can be used.”

For content creators looking to utilize volumetric video for specific projects or events, Arcturus can pair them with licensed MRCS studios based on individual needs. Users can also work directly with the company to leverage its in-house solutions built around MRCS and HoloSuite technologies to provide a comprehensive solution for the entire volumetric capture process, from recording to distribution. Arcturus added that current MRCS licensees include one of the largest production studios in the world, with more to come.

For studios looking to become MRCS partners, Arcturus can provide licenses and expertise to help them build a complete studio from scratch or retrofit an existing one. The company will send consultants on site to guide customers through the installation and construction process. Once the facility is operational, Arcturus will continue to provide immediate support as needed.

As a member of the Volumetric Formats Association, Arcturus said it will support creators working with volumetric data by continuing to develop and improve HoloSuite tools, while considering the use of artificial intelligence to improve capture quality and reduce the number of cameras.
