8i is a company specializing in the capture, transformation, and streaming of volumetric video.

History

[edit | edit source]

8i was founded in May 2014[1] by Linc Gasking, Eugene d'Eon, Sebastian Marino and Joshua Feast[2] to develop software that can capture, analyze, compress, and recreate all the viewpoints required for volumetric capture.[3][4][5][6]

In October 2015, 8i raised $13.5 million in Series A funding. Investors included RRE Ventures, Founders Fund Science, Samsung Ventures, and Dolby Family Ventures.[7][3][8][9]

In January 2016, 8i premiered #100humans at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival as part of its New Frontier exhibit.[10] The program featured four VR projects that placed characters captured using 8i technology in distinct environments ranging from a dystopian wasteland to the Grand Canyon.[11][12][2]

In October of 2018, Hayes Mackaman became CEO and relaunched the company in 2019.
