France Télévisions covered the French presidential elections with a large display of photorealistic virtual reality

The French public broadcaster carried out a great display with numerous virtual sets that included augmented reality, infographics and animations developed by Zero Density and DreamWall.

Zero Density along with DreamWall have collaborated closely with France Télévisions during the coverage of the French elections in their first and second rounds held on April 23 and May 7.

The French public broadcaster carried out a great display with numerous virtual sets that followed one another with augmented reality, infographics and animations, offering an improved, attractive and informative viewer experience.

Arnaud Vincenti, artistic director and set designer at France Télévisions news, highlighted that "with the latest version of Zero Density's photorealistic virtual studio solution, Dreamwall produced the most incredibly photorealistic images available today. The team is now working with us to offer an equally attractive experience for the legislative elections that will take place in June."

Zero Density's Reality solution uses Unreal Engina 4 for real-time 3D rendering, facilitating its use in live television programs.

Por su parte, Thibault Baras, CEO de DreamWall, admite que “entregamos exactamente lo que France Télévisions esperaba. El broadcaster no tenía experiencia previa en la implementación de este tipo de producciones de estudio virtual ya que ésta era su primera experiencia pero lo que querían era enormemente ambicioso, por lo que dependían mucho de nuestra experiencia, nuestra capacidad de innovar y nuestra comprensión de cómo aprovechar la enormes capacidades de la realidad virtual de Zero Density. Además, hemos sido capaces de llevar a cabo el proyecto en apenas seis semanas”.

DreamWall, estudio de diseño gráfico y animación con sede en Bélgica, cuenta con gran experiencia en el desarrollo de realidad virtual y aumentada. Entre sus últimos trabajos destacan la cobertura de las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo para la RTBF belga o los comicios gubernamentales en Marruecos para SNRT.
