Dock10 recently teamed up with the University of York for a joint research project to explore how AI can tackle a major challenge for programmes filming in virtual studios – simulating realistic light interactions. The project brought together leading AI researchers from the university and virtual production experts from Dock10, and has been awarded an embedded R&D grant from XR Network+. The XR Network+ project provides vital funding and support to researchers working in AI LIGHTING THE WAY
virtual production technologies, facilitating collaboration between academia and industry. Currently, it is challenging to achieve realistic lighting interactions for live TV productions – including sports programmes, game shows and music performances – that film in multicamera green-screen studios. The research collaboration explores how AI can help simulate accurate light interactions between physical actors and virtual environments in multicamera virtual studios.
