HoloCap

What HoloCap does

HoloCap (legal entity Holocap AS) is a privately held developer of a real-time volumetric video capture software system aimed at representing humans inside virtual and augmented reality environments. The core technology fuses data from low-cost consumer-grade depth cameras and applies a proprietary real-time filtering algorithm to improve capture quality on challenging surfaces such as hair, shoes, and shiny objects, eliminating the need for specialized studio lighting or green-screen backgrounds. Native plugins for Unity 3D and Unreal Engine allow the system to record and play back volumetric content simultaneously within XR experiences with low performance overhead.

The company's commercial offering is delivered through two project-based streams: volumetric capture services for clients producing VR showrooms, training simulations, and live or pre-visualized performances, and custom software implementations tailored to use cases such as museum installations, mobile-AR guided tours, remote speaker events, and virtual classrooms. All engagements are handled via direct sales inquiry at project-specific, undisclosed pricing structured as multi-year contracts, with no self-service, channel, or e-commerce distribution. HoloCap serves three vertical use-case segments — enterprise training and education (primary), entertainment and media production, and sales/showroom — but discloses no named customer logos, no funding history, and no revenue figures, and operates with a team of 1-10 people out of Los Angeles under a Norwegian private limited company structure.
