Located at the MediaTech Hub Potsdam, Volucap is the first and only volumetric studio on the European mainland. In the studio, the 3D scanning of objects and even actors is made possible, with highly realistic results. This technology paves the way for virtual reality productions such as films or games, but can also be used in the healthcare and automotive industries. Volucap was founded in cooperation with Potsdam-based companies such as UFA and Fraunhofer HHI. © Stefan Kny

The Digital Hub Mobility launched a project called "Umparken" (reparking) with minds from the business, science and start-up scenes as well as the city of Munich.
