OpenEXR looks very interesting! Especially if OpenEXR can compress depth data nearly as efficiently as we can compress image data by making everything a video, it would be a game changer. For example, our RGB dataset is 814 MB right now while the RGB-D dataset is 77 GB, even though depth "just" adds one new channel to our data.

Yes, that’s another thing. When Apple is recording RGBD in a cinematic format, it is tiny.
