1. A method comprising:
causing presentation, by a display device, of a volumetric content comprising a volumetric video, the volumetric video comprising a volumetric representation of one or more elements of a three-dimensional space, the causing of the presentation of the volumetric content comprising causing the display device to present the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on a real-world environment that is visible to a user of the display device, the presentation of the volumetric video comprising a display of an interactive interface comprising a set of interactive elements overlaid on the real-world environment, the set of interactive elements comprising:
a first interactive element to pause the presentation of the volumetric video;
a second interactive element to fast forward the presentation of the volumetric video; and
a third interactive element to rewind the presentation of the volumetric video;
receiving input indicative of a control operation associated with the presentation of the volumetric content based on an interaction with an interactive element from the set of interactive elements, the control operation comprising one of: a pause operation, a fast-forward operation, or a rewind operation; and
controlling the presentation of the volumetric content by the display device by executing the control operation, the controlling of the presentation of the volumetric content comprising:
tracking movement of the user of the display device within the real-world environment;
causing presentation, by the display device, of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements from multiple perspectives while the control operation is being executed based on the tracked movement of the user of the display device, the executing of the control operation comprising one of:
pausing the presentation of the volumetric video based on the input being indicative of an interaction with the first interactive element;
fast forwarding the presentation of the volumetric video based on the input being indicative of an interaction with the second interactive element; or
rewinding the presentation of the volumetric video based on the input being indicative of an interaction with the third interactive element.
