Scatter’s first product, Depthkit is an accessible creative software tool for volumetric filmmaking. Depthkit enables filmmakers and creators to capture full motion volumetric video for immersive media, visual effects and virtual production using just a laptop and a depth sensor. With thousands of users, Depthkit is the most widely used volumetric video solution.
Depthkit was started by James George as the open source freeware project ‘The RGBDToolkit’ back in 2011. It was prototyped to support many collaborative projects such as DepthEditorDebug and CLOUDS. It was renamed to Depthkit and is now a commercial software product built by the amazing team at Scatter under James’ leadership as CEO.
Depthkit allows high quality, authentic performances to be captured and added to XR and Visual Effects productions. Designed to be loved by filmmakers, Depthkit is familiar to anyone who has worked with video or game production workflows.
Depthkit produces high-quality photorealistic captures. Using reality as a starting point, creators can use Looks to bring a magical realism to enhance their stories with custom effects.
Depthkit has been used to create Emmy and Peabody award winning XR experiences, feature Hollywood films, documentaries, music videos and concert experiences for hundreds of artists including U2, Eminem, and Imogen Heap.
