Purpose-built xR stages for immersive virtual conferences, corporate events and music videos

xR stages immerses talent and performers in virtual environments where they can see and interact with the video content in real-time.

Real-time engines, camera tracking, LED screens and virtual set extension are combined to transport talent into an immersive virtual environment; one where they can move around and interact in real-time with content displayed around them.

Technology

Our cutting-edge Disguise workflow and extended reality technology can be applied to anything from award shows to corporate events, music videos, live-streamed concerts, sports broadcasting or commercial shoots.

“We worked in collaboration with Paul Gilzene at 80six Limited and the extended team in re-purposing an area of their warehouse, creating a bespoke XR studio and delivered a series of live multi-lingual webcasts to a Europe wide audience. I’d recommend the team at 80six - if you have any live event or virtual event requirements, the service and dedication to duty is second to none.”

Custom-built xR stages on location

80six has a track record of building xR stages at scale, as per a client’s requirements. We take pride in our flexibility to set up these stages and manage the xR workflow outside of the studios.

We recently built a temporary xR stage and managed the entire xR pipeline for Notting Hill Carnival 2020 which went virtual due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

The producers of the first-ever digital version of the iconic carnival enlisted 80six and Dimension to deliver the technical backbone for the 3-day long broadcast.

The custom-built xR stage displayed a realistic “Notting Hill Street’ as the backdrop for the presenters throughout the long weekend. Powered by Disguise GX2c servers, the main xR stage consisted of ROE  Visual Diamond panels (DM2) walls, ROE Black Magic LED floor (BM4), and a Stype camera tracking system. 

The biggest technical and logistical challenge was to seamlessly live broadcast two streams of content for up to 15 hours a day from a single stage.
