In one embodiment, a volumetric image of a scene may be created by recording, by a camera in a device, a series of images of the scene as the camera moves along a path relative to the scene; during recording, the device stores motion path metadata about the path, the series of images being associated with the motion path metadata, and a metadata tag being associated with the series of images, the metadata tag indicating that the recorded series of images represent a volumetric image of the scene. The series of images, motion path metadata, and metadata tags may be assembled into packets for distribution to devices that may view volumetric images, which may be referred to as finite volume images. A device receiving the volumetric image may display individual images of the series of images or display them as a video. 在一个实施例中，场景的体积图像可以通过以下方式创建：当设备中的相机相对于场景沿路径移动时，通过该相机记录该场景的一系列图像；在记录期间，该设备存储关于路径的运动路径元数据，该系列图像与运动路径元数据相关联，并且元数据标签与该系列图像相关联，该元数据标签指示所记录的系列图像表示场景的体积图像。该系列图像、运动路径元数据和元数据标签可以被组装成包，以分发给可以观看体积图像的设备，该体积图像可以被
