Voluma AI

Voluma AI is a spatial publishing platform based in Hilversum, in Noord-Holland, that takes a finished 3D capture and turns it into an interactive scene a client can open in a browser. It launched the public beta of its 3DGS platform in February 2025 and reached version 1.20.0 in October 2025. The company works both ways round, running full service capture with its own drones and scanners and also selling the platform on its own to teams that already have their own capture pipeline or an archive of older datasets.

Format coverage is unusually wide. Voluma reads .ply, .spz, .splat, .ksplat, .sog and .rad splat files, and it added native XGRIDS .lcc support in September 2025, since extended to .lcc2. LCC and LCC2 play directly in the browser with no conversion and no quality loss, which is the distinguishing capability against platforms that require a transcode first. Conventional 3D formats are handled too, .glb, .gltf, .obj and .fbx, alongside ordinary images and video. Voluma names Postshot, Polycam and drone photogrammetry pipelines as compatible sources.

The Studio is the online editor. It adds annotations, composes guided tours and builds animations over an uploaded scene, and it is free to open with no login and no card. Most published scenes land between 50 and 500 MB after optimisation and load in under ten seconds on broadband, while captures too large for that are served through the streaming formats instead, where scene size is effectively unbounded and a fair use policy governs traffic rather than a file size cap. Scenes run as web viewers on desktop, tablet and mobile with no app install, and Voluma puts the practical floor at a mid range 2022 or newer phone or laptop.

Pricing runs on two parallel ladders. The Regular ladder is free, then Pro at 32 euro per month for 15 scenes, 100 markers per scene and 3 GB, then Plus at 89 euro per month for 60 scenes, 200 markers and 20 GB, then a quoted Custom tier. The Stream and LCC ladder is free, then Stream Start at 32 euro per month with 5 streaming scenes and 25 GB, then Stream Pro at 89 euro per month with 15 streaming scenes and 75 GB, then Custom. Yearly billing takes ten percent off, white labelling is a separate add on at 500 euro per year, and all figures exclude VAT. Streaming uploads are capped at 5 GB on every plan and stream visits count against an allowance eighty percent lower than ordinary views because they generate more traffic.

Data sits on EU infrastructure by default and self hosting is not part of a standard plan. Two enterprise routes exist for organisations that need more control. Portable Export lifts a published scene off the platform for independent hosting or archiving, and Private Deployment runs the whole stack, project management, editing, publishing, access control and hosting, in a dedicated environment.

The construction practice runs as a separate offering at track.voluma.ai, which sells interactive 3D timelines rather than single scenes. The pipeline is drones, 360 cameras and handheld LiDAR for acquisition, Gaussian splat reconstruction on dedicated hardware or secure cloud, then authoring into a chronological timeline hosted on the main platform and embedded in a client dashboard or public page. Voluma also processes archived historical datasets to build timelines of work that finished before it was engaged. The published project list covers the Veerse Toren and Postillion Hotel restoration in Raamsdonksveer, where sixteen phases of construction and restoration were captured into one timeline, a ground up residential build in Florida, an apartment complex in Hilversum, the De Nijs Flats development in Medemblik, an annual four seasons capture of Groeneveld Castle in Baarn, and an ongoing town square project. Voluma added its timelapse mode in July 2024.
