Converts 2D video or image inputs into stereoscopic VR180 format (180-degree field of view) optimized for immersive headsets and holographic displays. The system uses depth estimation and view synthesis algorithms to generate left/right eye perspectives from single-camera or multi-view source material, enabling creators to produce spatial video content without specialized volumetric capture rigs or multi-camera arrays.
Unique: Abstracts away depth estimation and stereo view synthesis behind a no-code interface, using neural depth prediction models to generate VR180 from single-source video — eliminating the need for multi-camera rigs or manual 3D modeling that competitors like Unreal Engine or traditional volumetric capture require
vs alternatives: Significantly faster time-to-content than traditional volumetric capture pipelines (hours vs. days) and more accessible than depth-camera-based solutions like Kinect or RealSense, though with lower geometric fidelity than hardware-captured volumetric video
Transforms 2D images, video, or 3D models into holographic representations suitable for display on spatial computing devices and holographic projection systems. The system applies volumetric rendering and depth-aware compositing to create the illusion of floating 3D objects that can be viewed from multiple angles, with automatic optimization for target display hardware (Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, holographic displays).
Unique: Provides one-click hologram generation from 2D sources using neural depth prediction and volumetric rendering, whereas competitors (Unreal Engine, Blender, Nomad Sculpt) require manual 3D modeling or specialized volumetric capture hardware
vs alternatives: Dramatically lowers barrier to entry for hologram creation compared to traditional 3D pipelines, though produces lower geometric fidelity than hand-modeled or hardware-captured volumetric content
Offloads computationally intensive operations (depth estimation, view synthesis, rendering) to cloud-based GPU infrastructure, enabling fast processing of high-resolution content without requiring local hardware. The system uses distributed rendering to parallelize processing across multiple GPUs, with automatic load balancing and resource allocation based on job complexity and queue depth.
Unique: Abstracts away GPU infrastructure complexity behind cloud API, with automatic load balancing and distributed rendering across multiple GPUs — enabling creators without local hardware to process high-resolution content efficiently

Provides an interactive web-based editor for composing and previewing VR180 content in real-time, with support for spatial placement of objects, adjustment of depth parameters, and live stereo visualization. The editor uses WebGL-based rendering to display stereoscopic previews and integrates with VR headsets via WebXR API for immersive in-headset editing and validation before final export.
Unique: Integrates WebXR for in-headset preview and editing, allowing creators to validate VR180 content directly on target hardware (Quest 3, Vision Pro) without exporting — a capability absent from traditional video editing software and most 3D tools
vs alternatives: Enables faster iteration than export-and-test workflows, and provides more accurate spatial validation than 2D monitor-based previews, though with higher latency than native VR applications
Uses deep learning models (monocular depth estimation networks) to infer 3D geometry from single 2D images or video frames, then synthesizes left/right eye perspectives for stereoscopic VR180 output. The system handles temporal coherence across video frames to prevent flickering and applies view-dependent effects (parallax, occlusion handling) to create convincing stereo illusions without explicit 3D model construction.
Unique: Applies state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation networks (likely MiDaS or similar) with temporal coherence constraints to maintain frame-to-frame stability in video, whereas simpler stereo matching approaches (used in some mobile apps) produce flickering or require explicit multi-camera input
vs alternatives: Enables stereo synthesis from single-camera sources (impossible with traditional stereo matching), though with lower geometric accuracy than hardware-captured depth from Kinect, RealSense, or LiDAR
Automatically optimizes and exports VR180 content for specific target devices (Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, generic holographic displays) by applying device-specific codec selection, resolution scaling, and spatial audio encoding.

Unique: Provides one-click device-specific export with automatic codec, resolution, and bitrate selection based on target hardware capabilities, whereas competitors (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve) require manual codec configuration and lack built-in knowledge of spatial computing device constraints
vs alternatives: Eliminates manual codec tuning and device-specific optimization work, though with less granular control than professional video editing software
Enables automated processing of multiple video or image files through the VR180 conversion pipeline without manual intervention, with support for queuing, progress tracking, and error handling. The system uses a job-based architecture to distribute processing across available compute resources, with checkpointing to resume interrupted jobs and logging for debugging failed conversions.
Unique: Provides job-queue-based batch processing with checkpointing and distributed compute, enabling large-scale content conversion without platform-specific infrastructure knowledge — a capability absent from single-file-at-a-time web interfaces
vs alternatives: Enables cost-effective large-scale processing compared to manual per-file conversion, though with higher latency than real-time streaming pipelines
Encodes spatial audio (Ambisonics, object-based audio) alongside VR180 video to create immersive soundscapes that respond to viewer head movement and spatial position. The system can extract or generate spatial audio from stereo or mono sources, apply head-tracking-aware audio rendering, and encode in formats compatible with spatial computing platforms (Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio).
Unique: Integrates spatial audio encoding with VR180 video export, applying head-tracking-aware rendering to create immersive soundscapes that respond to viewer movement — a capability typically requiring separate audio workstations or professional DAWs
vs alternatives: Simplifies spatial audio workflow by bundling with VR180 video export, though with less granular control than dedicated spatial audio tools (Nuendo, REAPER with spatial plugins)
