Unlock the future of media with Dr. Matthew Mirman and our special guest, Forrest Briggs, as we uncover the transformative power of volumetric media in AI-driven experiences. Forrest, the visionary founder and CEO of Lifecast, is reshaping the landscape of virtual environments with tools that offer unparalleled immersion. Together, we examine how six degrees of freedom and cutting-edge advancements like neural radiance fields are making 3D content creation not only more accessible but also more revolutionary, allowing creators to craft dynamic and responsive virtual spaces.

Picture this: filmmaking without the constraints of traditional green screens. Discover how volumetric technology is revolutionizing the industry with tools that capture photorealistic environments using VR180 cameras, as showcased in productions like "The Mandalorian." Forrest and I discuss the profound implications of this technology, from saving time and money with reshoots in controlled environments to blending computer vision and generative AI for near-perfect 3D reconstructions. We ponder the exciting possibilities of creating entirely new volumetric scenes from simple text prompts, balancing reality capture with imaginative innovation.

As we look ahead, the conversation shifts to the broader implications of AI in media, including economic disruptions and the democratization of content creation. Forrest shares insights into how generative AI and large language models are set to alter the media landscape, making personalized content creation easier than ever. We explore the ethical and economic challenges of AI's rapid advancement, questioning how these technologies can align with human values while presenting opportunities for unparalleled creative expression. Join us for a journey through the thrilling world of AI and volumetric media, as we consider the limitless potential of this groundbreaking technology.
