Title:

    Volume: 3D Reconstruction of History for Immersive Platforms

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    This paper presents Volume, a software toolkit that enables users to experiment with expressive reconstructions of archival and/or historical materials as volumetric renderings. Making use of contemporary deep learning methods, Volume re-imagines 2D images as volumetric 3D assets. These assets can then be incorporated into virtual, augmented and mixed reality experiences.
