Easy to operate Virtual Sets for anyone featuring Viz Arc

 

Virtual sets are clunky and impossible to operate without a PhD in graphics. Ever hear that before? Full Mental Jacket recently completed a successful design and delivery of a Viz Engine 4 virtual set to mid-size station KQED in San Francisco.

 

In this special demo, we’ll talk to Full Mental Jacket about the design process from spec through sketch to delivery. We’ll also get a special demo of the set designed for KQED from Ronen, along with Viz Arc - the virtual and augmented reality controller used to operate this set

In this session we talk to Ronen, who has over 20 years of experience in broadcast and creating virtual sets, about how his company designed a Viz Engine 4 Virtual Studio for a group station in San Francisco, KQED. Ronen discusses how the KQED studio design was created with a lot of emphasis on the materials, shaders, and tone mapping to ensure the set had a natural feel to it. To help with easy controlling of the set and all the virtual elements, KQED uses Viz Arc on daily basis with limited crew onsite to produce all their shows. After this interview, our experts demonstrate the best features of Viz Arc.

    Why Viz Arc
    Viz Arc is an augmented reality control system, which allows users to drive AR graphics and virtual sets from a single interface. Simple and quick to deploy, Viz Arc is easy to use on a daily basis and even provides set up of AR elements by mapping to various locations

    Viz Arc integrates with XR Set, one of the Solutions of Vizrt's recently launched Extended Reality Suite, Viz Virtual Studio and Vizrt's tracking hub, and operates with multiple Viz Engine compositing and rendering systems simultaneously.

    Viz Arc includes control of the Fusion keyer functionality integrated with Viz Engine 4, and it also provides direct access to Viz Artist and Unreal 4 templates. NDI® for video preview and PTZ camera control can be incorporated.

    The Viz Arc demo shows the following functionalities: 

    How easy it is to control the VR set and all its elements, including virtual video walls
    How to move within the VR set and extend your virtual studio no matter the size of the green screen
    ✓ How to switch between different location from one Set, and adjust to the perfect angle via the live preview 
    Creating and controlling presents and animations via buttons
    Easy change of content on virtual screens within the studio
    Seamless swap between many entirely different Virtual Studio looks and designs
