MIAMI – With an increasing amount of technology being used on stage, and less time to build sets or make changes, pre-visualization has become a necessity for large scale events globally. In the arms race to provide more detail and accuracy, it was only natural that visualization would evolve to include virtual reality as a better way to show clients their vision. PixelPup Inc. is on the forefront of this emerging technology and the initial results are quite impressive.
More details from PixelPup (www.pixelpup.net):
One of the drawbacks of traditional visualization is a true sense of scale. Nearly everything looks acceptable when it is viewed at high resolution on a screen the size of a laptop. However, this approach leaves out the true depth and size of stage elements and can often give a false sense of how things will look in real life. Virtual reality pre-visualization works to solve many of these issues by giving the user a better feel for the true scale and depth of different elements.
Using custom tools and scripting, PixelPup can provide not only a full scale virtual reality set design, but also show a client their unique video content on video surfaces including dynamic lighting effects and user interaction. PixelPup offers the user the ability to “walk” around the set and view it from various positions or camera angles, as well as change video and set looks in real time. Using virtual reality pre-visualization on your next project will cut down on re-renders, on-site changes and help keep your production on time and on budget.
