Alastair Stewart and Julie Etchingham in the green studio
The virtual studio at ITN uses a set of tracked cameras which know where they are in 3D space. All of this tracking data is processed and fed to renderers. With VizRt Studio and some clever 'under the bonnet innovation' we create virtual live 3D graphics which give the appearance of studio which works exactly like a real one, albeit with the added flexibility to move assets round relatively easily. The are many downsides to working in virtual,
but this was our preferred solution for this project. We were able to populate information graphics in key areas.
