8i

About

8i is a single-player adventure game that uses volumetric video to capture human figures in 3D space. Players explore interactive scenes where real people are recorded from all angles letting you walk around and engage with them as if they’re in the same room. The focus is on passive observation and spatial interaction rather than traditional gameplay mechanics. The developer emphasizes realistic movement and perspective shifts letting you control how close or distant you stay from the action. The standout feature is the technology itself which was ahead of its 2016 release date. Volumetric capture allowed for detailed human interactions that felt more natural than standard animations. While not a traditional story-driven game it offers a novel way to experience pre-recorded scenarios through VR mobile or web. Community feedback notes its experimental nature but highlights the uncanny sense of presence as a key achievement for the genre.
