Linus Ekenstam launches Video Volume 3D tool
Video Volume is a browser-based micro-tool developed by Linus Ekenstam using Astra that enables users to upload MP4 or MOV video files and explore them as 3.5D spatio-temporal volumes. Inspired by slit-scan techniques, the tool maps video frames across spatial and temporal dimensions with linked 2D and 3D perspectives, processing all frames locally on-device.
Turning linear video into an interactive 3D time volume transforms ephemeral motion into an inspectable sculpture, highlighting how AI-assisted workflows empower solo creators to rapidly turn conceptual visual experiments into working web tools.
- –Spatio-Temporal Slicing: Maps the timeline directly to a spatial dimension (X, Y, T), allowing users to orbit, zoom, and inspect motion trajectories across time.
- –Local Client-Side Execution: Video decoding and volume generation run completely on the local device, ensuring user privacy and low latency.
- –Rapid AI-Assisted Prototyping: Demonstrates the ease with which makers can ship functional, well-designed micro-apps in a single evening using modern AI coding tools.
- –Creative and Diagnostic Potential: Beyond artistic exploration, volumetric video slicing serves practical use cases in motion analysis and generative video artifact inspection.
