8i breaks the main barriers to creating compelling 3D media content at scale — quality, time and cost.
8i holographic is a groundbreaking system for recording video and translating it into highly realistic, genuinely 3D digital content. The process is dramatically faster and an order of magnitude less expensive than computer animation.
8i is strongly positioned to meet growing demand for content for virtual reality (VR) display devices like the Oculus Rift. 8i holographic content can also be viewed on other 3D displays and conventional 2D computer monitors.
We will commence production of 8i holographic content for clients by Jan 2015 and aim to release our software and distribution products in 2016.
Our team features Academy, Emmy and Edison Award-winning talent with decades of experience at the world’s leading studios.
To find out more, please listen to 8i’s CEO, Mr Linc Gasking.

1,000km, sustainable, efficient , no onboard pilot: How ‘Gap Drone ’ is rewriting the rules of remote logistics
Can autonomous drones solve Australia’s “tyranny of distance”? GAP Drone CEO Liesl Haris thinks so. With the launch of ATLAS—an autonomous transport logistics aircraft system—the company is bypassing traditional infrastructure to deliver 50kg payloads over 1,000km. Dubbed the “Uber of airfreight,” GAP Drone is tackling the “too hard basket” of remote logistics, partnering with Australia Post to provide First Nations communities and regional hubs with reliable, low-cost access to medicine, food, and economic opportunity. By operating within current regulatory frameworks and utilising a “no-runway” launch model, GAP Drone is transforming air freight from an expensive luxury into a scalable utility.
