Title:

    Augmented Reality for Virtual Set Extension

Presenter(s)/Author(s):


Abstract:


    We introduce an intuitive workflow where Augmented Reality can be applied on the fly to extend a real set with virtual extensions. The work on intuitive Virtual Production technology at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg has focused on an open platform tied to existing film creation pipelines. The Virtual Production Editing Tools (VPET) are published and constantly updated on the open source software development platform Github as a result of a former project on Virtual Production funded by the European Union.
