1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
receiving a user selection of a view from a user device;
determining a first subset of cameras less than a full set of cameras of a camera rig to acquire data of a subject based on the user selection of the view, wherein determining the first subset of cameras less than the full set of cameras of the camera rig includes comparing acquired frames with an expected view to determine if the frames from the first subset of cameras acquire desired frames;
generating a volumetric 3D model of the subject based on the user selection of the view;
transmitting the volumetric 3D model of the subject to the user device; and
receiving a second user selection that matches a pre-existing selection of one or more additional users, and grouping the second user selection with the pre-existing selection of the one or more additional users, thereby enabling a user to stream a same volumetric 3D model as the one or more additional users.
