XR CHROMA KEYING PRODUCTION
The scene is shot against a green or blue background on the LED wall. Unlike traditional chroma keying, the rendering software only displays the green or blue on the part of the image that the camera sees, also called inner frustum. Backgrounds are real-time generated on the feedback screens, enabling the filmmaker and crew to make the best decisions by viewing the result live. The advantage in this instance is that the rendering software displays the 3D set on the LED space outside the camera’s field of view, also known as outer frustum. As such, the actors and the real components benefit from the light and reflections generated by the off-field-of-view area.
AR AUGMENTED REALITY
Using XR Immersive Production and/or XR Chroma Keying Production processes, augmented reality makes it possible to add 3D foreground components and/or interaction with the actors to the image in real time. This process is mainly intended for Live shooting applications.
