BRINGING THE HUMAN DIMENSION TO MIXED REALITY

At Metastage, we make holographic video – holograms
of people and performances from every angle. Your
audiences can interact with your holograms in
augmented reality, virtual reality, and on 2D screens.
Our multi-stage process uses large data sets to efficiently
generate a refined point cloud. This produces a high
quality mesh and texture that is compresed to HD video
comparable file sizes. The results are beautiful captures
at low file sizes.

Our processing team will take over the data, with quality control provided by one of
the technical directors who joined you on set. Processed files will have a scratch audio
track already aligned to each capture, and we’ll hand off all raw audio so you can craft
a properly sweetened mix.

POST-PRODUCTION
Once you have selected your time codes for final processing, our team will do final renders with quality control. Processed files
will have a scratch audio track aligned to each capture, and we deliver all raw audio for additional mixing.
