Insta360 Turns Videos Into 3D
New Spatial Capture feature converts videos to explorable 3D scenes in just 1-2 hours, free on X6, X5, and X4 Air models starting September 28
Insta360 is set to launch a new feature called Spatial Capture on September 28, which will allow users to create 3D scenes out of their videos using 3D Gaussian Splatting technology. This feature will be supported on Insta360 X6, X5, and X4 Air models, and will initially only be available in the US.
The Spatial Capture feature will appear as a new tab in the Insta360 app, where users can select their footage and generate up to four 3DGS scenes for free each month. The processing time for converting video to 3D scene takes about one to two hours, during which time users can close the app and attend to other matters.
Once the processing is complete, users can explore the 3D scene using touch controls, a virtual joystick, or the device's gyroscope. Additionally, users can add effects and create custom camera paths in the 3D scene, allowing for a more immersive experience. The 3D scenes can be exported as a video or shared as an interactive link.
## What it means The launch of Spatial Capture marks a significant development in the field of 3D technology, allowing users to create immersive 3D scenes from their videos without the need for specialized capture equipment or complex workflows. This feature has the potential to revolutionize the way we experience and interact with video content, and could have a major impact on industries such as entertainment, education, and architecture.
The ability to create 3D scenes from videos will also open up new possibilities for content creators, who will be able to produce more engaging and interactive content for their audiences. With the rise of virtual and augmented reality technologies, the demand for 3D content is likely to increase, and Insta360's Spatial Capture feature is well-positioned to meet this demand.
## Availability and support The Spatial Capture feature will be available in the US starting September 28, and will be supported on Insta360 X6, X5, and X4 Air models. Users can access the feature through the Insta360 app, and can generate up to four 3DGS scenes for free each month. With its user-friendly interface and powerful 3D Gaussian Splatting technology, Spatial Capture is set to become a game-changer in the world of 3D content creation.
