FAQs
Extended reality (XR) is often used as an umbrella term for all the various technologies that come together to form a virtual production. Technologies such as:
Mixed reality (MR)
Augmented reality (AR)
Virtual reality (VR)
However, when we define “XR” we mean the use of large LED Volumes to create virtual environments that talent can interact with.
Extended reality (XR) is used for a wide range of applications, such as esports, broadcast and other live programming. Check out our blog “What is XR and how can it be used” for more info.
Extended reality works by projecting a virtual scene on a large LED volume behind the talent and/or real word object. The movement of the cameras is tracked such that the projection of the virtual scene changes with the perspective of the camera and the physical and virtual elements are combined through the camera to create a photo-realistic effect. For this reason, XR is sometimes referred to as “In Camera Visual Effects” or ICVFX. XR can be further enhanced with the use of AR, Augmented Reality, elements in the foreground alongside the physical talent and/or objects.
One of the key advantages of XR over Virtual Sets (green screen) is that the on-set talent is able to see the scene they’re in. Additionally, XR has the potential to look more realistic than green screen environments as, rather than fixed and reflected light, the light generated from the LED volume may provide realistic reflections (and shadows) from on set objects and talent.
