A look back at one of our biggest NAB weeks yet — integrating the Puget Systems booth with Corridor Digital, capturing Gaussian splats with XGRIDS, and officially launching Volumate.

We're back from an action packed week at NAB Show 2026, and it was one of the best ones yet.

Integrating the Puget Systems Booth with Corridor Digital

The biggest focus for us was working with Puget Systems. Form Studios came in as the integrator for their booth, where we helped bring something new to life with Corridor Digital and their Artist React series.

This was the first time they've ever done Artist React live, and it completely exceeded expectations. Every session was standing room only, with people spilling out into the aisles. You could feel the energy from across the show floor.

Capturing Corridor's Studio with the XGRIDS Portal

One of the coolest parts of that setup was how we used our XGRIDS Portal camera to capture a Gaussian splat of Corridor's studio. Even though the show was happening on the NAB floor, it felt like you were sitting inside their actual space. We also had Volumate running on the booth, which let attendees fly through that environment in real time, and that's where things really started to click.

Our Team on Stage

We had a chance to be part of some great conversations throughout the week. David Stapp spoke on a panel hosted by AMD focused on going from previs to final pixels in real time. Then David and Shawn Herold gave a session on how we're using Gaussian splats across the full production pipeline, from location scouting through final production.

Shawn also joined a panel with XGRIDS where we dug deeper into that workflow. One thing that stood out is how complete their ecosystem is, covering capture, processing, and engine integration. We also talked about what's next with 4D Gaussian splats, where you're not just capturing a moment, but movement over time.

Beyond Production: Spatial Scans as Memory

One of the more personal things that came up was how this tech goes beyond production. Shawn shared that he's been scanning his house once a year. The idea is simple but powerful. Years from now, he'll be able to step back into those spaces exactly as they were. His kids' rooms at a specific age, moments that would normally just live in photos. It really starts to feel like the next evolution of photography, where instead of looking at a memory, you can actually step inside of it.

Officially Launching Volumate

The other big milestone for us at NAB was officially launching Volumate.

The goal is simple. Make virtual production and spatial content easy to use without needing a specialized Unreal or VP team. You can upload your own Gaussian splats or generate them from a single image using AI, then review and display that content all in one place.

Where it really stands out is how it handles camera tracking. It fully supports FreeD, along with inner and outer frustum workflows for off-axis viewing, but in a way that keeps the interface simple. On top of that, it supports photos, video, and 360 driving plates, so it becomes a single platform to create, review, and display.

Powering the Unilumin Booth and the Form Volumes Tie-In

We also had Volumate powering the main LED wall at the Unilumin booth, which was a big moment for us. It really showed what this looks like in a real world environment outside of a controlled demo.

This ties directly into what we're building with Form Volumes. When studios, universities, and brands invest in a full hardware package from us, they're not just getting an LED wall or a collection of gear. Now they have a software layer that actually makes the system usable day to day without needing a specialized team. That's been one of the biggest gaps in virtual production, and Volumate is how we're solving it.
