Scatter's flagship product Depthkit Studio launched just over a year ago. Time flies! Before Depthkit Studio, there was no accessible way for companies to set up in-house professional 360º volumetric video capture capabilities. Today we're highlighting ten outstanding projects from the intrepid group of Depthkit Studio's first movers.

‍Scatter selected these projects to highlight the diverse range of use cases for Depthkit Studio. They range from award-winning immersive storytelling to C-Suite corporate communications. They also illustrate the variety of exciting interactive publishing platforms available, from mobile handheld augmented reality on the web, to livestreamed appearances, and fully immersive roomscale virtual reality.

Footlocker x Adidas Cypher From the Future

Good Measure Studio, Mobile Augmented Reality

Foot Locker and adidas released an augmented reality powered rap cypher to celebrate the launch of the new adidas NMD v3, the latest model within the iconic sneaker franchise.

The Cypher from the Future, part of the Foot Locker and adidas “Ever Changing Visions” campaign, includes three rappers who are taking the European scene by storm. Viewers can tune in from their phones to watch the performance from Midlands rap prodigy Sainté (Leicester, UK), AWA Gang’s newest recruit Nahir (Paris, France) and Central Cee collaborator Sacky (Milan, Italy).

Viewers project the cypher into their own surroundings, with each of the trailblazing rappers’ digital avatars donning the new adidas NMD sneakers.

End of Night

Makropol, Cinematic Virtual Reality

End of Night is an award-winning Cinematic VR experience about the tormenting memories of one man's escape from Denmark to Sweden during WWII. It is an artistic mix of advanced technologies such as photogrammetry and volumetric video captured with Depthkit Studio, blended together into a collage-like 3D universe. Although realistic in its depiction of war-torn Copenhagen, and based on real accounts, the fictional experience unfolds like dimly recalled fragments of a painful memory. The audience is placed in the passenger seat of a rowboat with six degrees of freedom, sitting face to face with the protagonist Josef.

Kvöldvaka

Dansker Digital, Mobile Augmented Reality

Kvöldvaka is a Mobile AR journey to discover a deeper relationship with nature through the lens of Icelandic folklore. The project asks how can ancient stories and folklore inform us in an era of climate crisis?

Kvöldvökur, or Night Wakings, hails back to early days of human inhabitation in Iceland. Storytellers travelled from home to home spinning tales for Icelandic families as they rested from a long day of work in the inhospitable terrain. The Night Wakings were how traditions and understanding of the natural world were passed on.
