A brand-new trivia quiz show for YouTube influencer Tom Scott

As pioneers of XR environments, WL provided a full turnkey solution including virtual production environment, cameras, lighting, full technical expertise and support. Using WL’s award-winning SmartStage allowed Tom and his team to arrive onsite and experience full virtual production with XR, to bring his set design and game format to life, without needing any prior experience of using the technology. All of the episodes were shot in one afternoon at WL’s COVID-secure facility in Wimbledon. The power of the SmartStage, with disguise’s XR workflow and content made in a real-time engine meant that the studio could be “placed” exactly where needed to suit the required camera shots. This enabled the team to rotate, scale and tweak the design in moments, without any need to render new content, and ensure that the optimum shots were set-up exactly as required – all within moments of arriving on-site. WL’s SmartStage tightly integrates video conferencing codecs into the system, which allowed remote participants to seamlessly appear as content anywhere within the set as needed – providing low-latency natural conversation between the host and guests with real eyelines and interaction. The disguise XR toolset allowed for a virtual set extension to be added seamlessly outside the footprint of the LED walls, giving the appearance of a full 360 digital environment to the camera/viewer.
