ow in its third year, The Virtual Frontier once again explores the latest headlines in virtual production. The once-novel tech is on its way to maturity, begging the question: where will VP go next? We consider that very point on the following pages. First, we dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence (page 52), which is poised to transform virtual workflows – without replacing the people they depend on. Then, we venture into New Vegas, the primary setting of Fallout ’s second season (page 58); while shot entirely on film, all but one episode incorporated an LED volume. Elsewhere, we spotlight the virtual studios pushing ahead in vehicle processing, green-screen VP and commercial content. Go ahead, get immersed! Senior staff writer Katie Kasperson
