ABOUT 8I 

8i breaks the main barriers to creating compelling 3D media content at scale — quality, time and cost. 8i holographic is a groundbreaking system for recording video and translating it into highly realistic, genuinely 3D digital content. The process is dramatically faster and an order of magnitude less expensive than computer animation.

8i is strongly positioned to meet growing demand for content for virtual reality (VR) display devices like the Oculus Rift. 8i holographic content can also be viewed on other 3D displays and conventional 2D computer monitors. We will commence production of 8i holographic content for clients by Jan 2015 and aim to release our software and distribution products in 2016. 8i team features Academy, Emmy and Edison Award-winning talent with decades of experience at the world’s leading studios.
