A step into this direction, Nordic Entertainment Group has partnered with NEP the Netherlands and Zero Density to create a virtual set that is hyper realistic, multi-purpose and immersive.

The show utilized 3 cameras with 3 Reality Engines and Reality Control Application. Zero Density’s industry first real-time image-based keyer Reality Keyer has provided advanced keying of contact shadows and sub pixel details such as hair. Stype’s RedSpy is used for tracking augmented reality objects. NEP’s team has designed the astonishing set for the Super Bowl coverage. In additional to the work of talented technical artists and designers, NEP’s own Cube application allowed a smoother operation of the virtual reality and augmented reality elements, in real-time.
