We present a technique for capturing time-varying volumetric data of participating media. A laser sheet is swept repeatedly through the volume, and the scattered light is imaged using a high-speed camera. Each sweep of the laser provides a near-simultaneous volume of density values. We demonstrate rendered animations under changing viewpoint and illumination, making use of measured values for the scattering phase function and albedo.
