It was then that it occurred to us that it might be feasible to integrate the audience into an extended reality studio and that it would even look better in Internet broadcasts. We also designed the studio with the intention of it being compatible with remote broadcasts, without the need for a cell phone. conventional exteriors.

A día de hoy, las instalaciones ya se han utilizado para diferentes retransmisiones para plataformas de televisión por Internet, eventos de empresas y programas para niños: “Las producciones virtuales en las que se utiliza tecnología de realidad extendida junto con elementos computarizados, en lugar de tener que afrontar el diseño del estudio y la iluminación, conducen a reducciones en los gastos, y muchos de nuestros clientes están sacando partida de ello”.
