What is PresenZ?
PresenZ is a cutting-edge technology that revolutionizes cinema, allowing the viewer to feel like being inside the movie as opposed to watching it on a screen.
V-Nova PresenZ format enables 6 Degrees of Freedom
(6DoF) inside a pre-recorded content. This brings both perfect immersion and a visual quality on par with Hollywood blockbusters.
6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF)
Allows users to move and look around within the VR environment, enhancing the realism of interactive scenes. This ability to move naturally in the scene prevents any discomfort or Cybersickness common to standard 3 Degrees of Freedom ( 3DoF) movies.
Seamless pipeline integration and 3D assests resuability
PresenZ unique approach allows it to integrate directly into the standard VFX and 3D animation pipelines, like Maya/Arnold for instance. It is just a plug-in on the render-engine allowing to switch from a 2D image output to the PresenZ Volumetric format output
The entire pipeline, 3D scenes and assets can be repurposed into VR cinematic experiences, preserving everything from the original 2D render like modelling, rigging, animation, textures, shaders, lighting, etc.
There is not even any need for export since everything is happening in the original content creator pipeline.
How PresenZ works
PresenZ leverages volumetric rendering techniques to create immersive, navigable 3D environments from standard CGI assets. This process involves capturing in a 3D scene depth information and covering whatever can be seen from a Volume of vision, called the Zone Of View, wherein the can movee freely. The user can then experience parallax and perspective shifts that mimic real-life vision.
Technical advancements
PresenZ utilizes a unique rendering technique that maintains the high-quality visual fidelity of the source material while optimizing it for VR. This approach reduces the computational load and allows for real-time interaction without compromising on detail or performance.
Future and scalability
The PresenZ Player is an OpenXR application already compatible with the vast majority of PC VR headset.
Looking forward, PresenZ aims to expand its technology to support a wider range of VR platforms and devices, including running directly on stand-alone headsets like the Quest3 or Apple Vision Pro without relying on an external Computer to ensuring that high-quality VR cinema is accessible to a broader audience. Its scalable architecture is poised to handle increasing resolutions and more complex scenes as VR hardware evolves.
PresenZ sets a new standard in VR entertainment, combining state-of-the-art technology with user-centric design to deliver unparalleled immersive experiences. For an example of how PresenZ is transforming the VR landscape
