Who we are
Arcturus is the global leader in authoring, editing, and distributing volumetric videos. Founded by innovators with deep backgrounds in storytelling and technology from Netflix, Google, Pixar, Dreamworks, YouTube, Uber, and Autodesk, Arcturus was ideally suited to create “HoloSuite,” a SaaS post-production platform, offering tools for editing and distributing volumetric video.
Arcturus also helps others navigate the volumetric video ecosystem. We understand that volumetric video is still young and some clients prefer extra care and attention when exploring something new. Our team provides consulting and production work-for-hire so that our clients can focus on the big picture while we make it happen. Some of our consulting and production work includes Hulu’s Emmy nominated “Light as a Feather” Magic Leap activation and Madonna’s volumetric holograms at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, the first-ever live broadcast of a volumetric performance and the winner of the Advanced Imaging Society Lumiere Award.
Work with us
Arcturus is the global software leader in the post-production and streaming of volumetric videos. With tools to edit, compress, and stream volumetric video at scale in today’s spatial era, Arcturus is revolutionizing the immersive content experience across a range of verticals, from viewing live sports in holographic form, experiencing photorealistic virtual performances, engaging with interactive digital human assistants, and more immersive forms of social media and e-commerce where consumers can view and interact with products in 3D. The company has offices in California, USA and Nova Scotia, Canada. We believe in mutual respect for one another and delivering best-in-class quality products and services. Arcturus strives to be a socially conscious employer by evaluating its slate of projects with social good in mind, and being responsible in how we represent persons in our works. We aim to improve the state of the industry with equitable hiring and operating practices that support people who identify as disabled, BIPOC, trans, LGBT+, or women.
What our customers are saying
Working with Arcturus, we are able to anticipate the needs of our customers now and in the future, and offer them solutions before they know they want them. Volumetric videos offer an entirely new way to experience content, and with HoloStream, we can offer them to anyone with a mobile device, we expect the interest to grow rapidly.

Arcturus and HoloSuite have been an integral part of Crescent studios for a few years now. HoloEdit provides us the professional grade tools we need to produce projects for our clients, and HoloStream lets us stream the smallest, highest quality volumetric video files to our clients' audiences. With 4D Studios coming online as the world’s largest volumetric studio with multiple stages, we are planning a long term relationship with Arcturus.
Kotani Hajime, CEO, Crescent Studios and 4D Studios
Volumetric videos are a way to go beyond what traditional videos can offer and it’s something our customers clearly respond to. Our customers want to take advantage of technologies like volumetric video and AR that make their lives easier and better, and we are happy to oblige.

To live up to the promise that volcap brings; combining real humans captured in 3D with the interactive potential of game engines, I need them to be able to acknowledge the viewer. HoloEdit’s functionality to rig my volcaps lets me make each captured performer react in real time to their viewers. HoloEdit is a life saver.
Steye Hallema, Creative Director, 4DR Studios
Samsung has worked with Arcturus since 2019 on a variety of volumetric projects and we have always viewed the team and their products as important elements in our pipeline. From projects with the Dallas Cowboys, the 2019 Samsung Developer Conference featuring Delusion AR Experience, to the world-wide musical sensation BTS, HoloEdit has been with us, helping us achieve the high quality that our consumers expect.
Paul T. Kim, Sr. Director Content & Services, Samsung
Our volumetric project would have been lost without HoloSuite. Our developers were able to quickly grasp HoloEdit's workflows and begin working with the volumetric files we had; preparing them for use in our Unreal build. HoloEdit allowed us to separate performers, skeletonize and rig them for retargeting, and the Mari tools made painting much easier. HoloSuite is a must-have tool for the post production of volumetric video.
