S5168 - So You Want to Create the Holodeck? A Closer Look at OTOY's Lightfield Technology

Jules Urbach ( CEO & Founder, OTOY Inc. )

Attendees will learn about OTOY's light field rendering technology which allows for immersive experiences on mobile HMDs and next gen displays. OTOY is actively developing a groundbreaking light field rendering pipeline, including the world's first portable 360 LightStage capture system and a cloud-based graphics platform for creating and streaming light field media for virtual reality and emerging holographic displays. OTOY's breakthroughs in compression and rendering on NVIDIA GPUs have dramatically reduced the barriers for light field video streaming, making it a viable media format that gives content creators everywhere a simple, cost-effective way to bring high quality, interactive 3D content to multiple platforms for the world to enjoy.

Dunno how interested I am in VR/holographic stuff, but I'm sure it will draw a new type of crowd to Octane, which is always good I guess. A Portable 360 LightStage sounds really impressive though!

Wish they wouldn't focus on new stuff like VR that is very much a new thing. But refine the things in octane that are critical of any production renderer.

Still excited to see what they show but will be rather unhappy if its all to do with VR and crap that isn't retaliative to most of their existing customers.

We're going to cover both. VR on mobile is going to be mainstream a year from now, and we're working to make it easy to create content for this medium. If you love Octane, you will love seeing your renders in VR.

Totally apart from VR, there will be a lot for Octane users to discuss here after Tuesday's GTC presentation

Looking forward to see Octane in GTC

This is cool! Can't wait to see the video. You guys have been really quiet for some time.

The new features I presume will still be in the 2.xx branch? Will this be the announcement of 2.5?
