From the article:

>Evercoast deployed a 56 camera RGB-D array

Do you know which depth cameras they used?

We (Evercoast) used 56 RealSense D455s. Our software can run with any camera input, from depth cameras to machine vision to cinema REDs. But for this, RealSense did the job. The higher end the camera, the more expensive and time consuming everything is. We have a cloud platform to scale rendering, but it’s still overall more costly (time and money) to use high res. We’ve worked hard to make even low res data look awesome. And if you look at the aesthetic of the video (90s MTV), we didn’t need 4K/6K/8K renders.

Aha: https://www.red.com/stories/evercoast-komodo-rig

So likely RealSense D455.

I was not involved in the capture process with Evercoast, but I may have heard somewhere they used RealSense cameras.

I recommend asking https://www.linkedin.com/in/benschwartzxr/ for accuracy.

Couldn’t you just use iphone pros for this? I developed an app specifically for photogrammetry capture using AR and the depth sensor as it seemed like a cheap alternative.

EDIT: I realize a phone is not on the same level as a red camera, but i just saw iphones as a massively cheaper option to alternatives in the field i worked in.
