Lifecast
Lifecast Incorporated, founded in 2021 and funded by Y Combinator, specializes in making immersive volumetric video practical. Their flagship product, the Volumetric Video Editor, allows users to capture entire immersive scenes with foreground and background details using VR180 cameras, unlike traditional systems that focus on single subjects. The software leverages machine learning and computer vision to reconstruct 3D models from video, compressing them into standard formats for deployment across platforms like Unreal Engine, Unity, WebXR, desktop, and mobile. Key differentiators include support for VR180 cameras, handling of video with motion beyond photogrammetry and NeRF, and a proprietary LDI3 format. They offer two subscription tiers: Non-Commercial for $7.99/mo and Pro for $29.99/mo, with the Pro version offering unlimited video processing and ProRes export.
