The positions and movements of the virtual actors and virtual camera(s) in 3D space are rendered in real-time into a photorealistic 3D sequence with the help of the Unreal Engine. The creators can work together, as what they move is what they get on the output screen.

Advanced features of our tool allow staging with real actors and thus an individualized and more sophisticated animation of the virtual characters. Such advanced features require motion capture systems (e.g. Rokoko, XSens, Optitrack, Vicon) as well as face tracking (e.g. iPhone / ARKit).

Instead of controlling the virtual camera on the touchscreen, a more intuitive way can be made available for the cameraperson. With the help of a position-tracked iPad, the virtual camera can be controlled as if it were a physical, hand-held camera. We will also introduce a virtual dolly and Kino-wheel system in the future.
