Gracia moving volumetric scenes hands-on: I’m impressed
- Gracia is a volumetric content rendering startup aiming to become the YouTube for volumetric video scenes rendered via Gaussian Splats.
- Gracia offers a Quest and SteamVR application where users can navigate through available scenes and experience 3D moving Gaussian Splats.
- Gracia's moving volumetric scenes is an experimental feature which is innovative because similar programs like Meta Horizon Hyperscape only show static scenes.
- The newly released feature has 3-4 short animated scenes of 10-30 seconds each involving people.
- Gaussian Splats used in the moving scenes is difficult to scan and heavy to render and are still an experimental feature.
- A demo of Gracia's moving scenes was offered to a reviewer during an event, and it performed better on the PC version compared to the Quest version.
- The dancer in the moving scene was of very high quality and very convincing. It was impressive the controllers could move and resize the dancer.
- Long-term, moving volumetric scenes could become content sharing's future where people capture their best moments by capturing a scene and rendering it as 3D moving Gaussian Splats.
- However, bulky capturing tools and expensive content make capture and rendering heavy. Hence, Gracia's moving scenes remain experimental.
- Nevertheless, invitation is extended to try Gracia's moving scenes on a powerful PCVR setup.
