HoloSuite Player 2022.2 Documentation¶
The HoloSuite Players allow you to play volumetric content exported from HoloEdit in Unity, Unreal, and the WebPlayer.
Playback Types¶
Depending on your use case, we offer both local and streaming playback.
Local Playback¶
Local playback stores the files on device. For this type of playback you will need an OMS (Open Mesh Sequence) file for the meshes and an MP4 or PNG image sequence for textures. This type of playback is supported in Unity and Unreal.
Streaming Playback¶
The HoloSuite Player supports streaming volumetric content. This type of content is referred to as a HoloStream. HoloStream dynamically streams volumetric content from our servers, adjusting the quality of playback to match the bandwidth avaliable. HoloStreams are uploaded directly from HoloEdit and can be accessed with a .mpd URL. This type of content is supported in Unity and the WebPlayer. For more information on HoloStreams check out our HoloStream docs.
