Just like actual bodycam footage with gritty environments that remind you of exactly what real-life interiors might look like. They use body-cam style cameras with a spherical FOV, shaky hand movement, chromatic aberration, and pixelated faces that make it seem like watching replayed camera footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second video looks even better and captures just what anyone that&#8217;s gone paintballing has experienced. None of the polish of CoD &#8211; all the grittiness of real locations. I have no doubts this is good enough to be something that police and military will want to use for training soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5qvVNzsJyB0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The developer appears to be seeking funding and a studio partner to continue development.
