Canon Volumetric Innovation Challenge Q&A: Session 2

Join us for a Q&A session with Canon, U.S.A. for a chance to get your questions answered about the Canon Volumetric Innovation Challenge before the proposal deadline February 5.

We will be joined by Canon’s product leaders and engineers who designed their prototype volumetric motion capture system, installed the system at MIX Center, and unveiled it at CES earlier this month.

The Challenge awards up to $50,000 in seed funding to 1-3 ASU faculty-led projects that explore high-potential applications of 3D gaussian splat volumetric video capture. Awarded teams will receive dedicated system access, capture support at no cost from student volumetric fellows, and a pathway to next-stage sponsored research opportunities with Canon.
