Preserving Memories of Contemporary Witnesses Using Volumetric Video

Volumetric Video is a novel technology that allows the creation of dynamic 3D models of persons, which can then be integrated in any 3D environment. It is authentic and much more realistic and therefore ideal for the transfer of emotions, facial expressions and gestures, which is highly relevant in the context of preservation of contemporary witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust. Fraunhofer HHI is working on two projects in this cultural heritage. A VR documentary about the last Ger! man survivor of the Holocaust Ernst Grube has been produced together with UFA GmbH. A second project is with Dr. Eva Umlauf, the youngest Jewish survivor in the concentration camp in Auschwitz.
