REALITY 5
Tell your story, your way with Reality5’s unrivaled creative capabilities
Welcome to the place where next takes shape. Reality5 is a virtual production platform that brings limitless possibilities to life. This comprehensive solution enhances storytelling by enabling creators to produce hyper photorealistic real time graphics for Virtual Studio, Augmented Reality and Extended Reality (curved, flat and cube LED) productions. Redeveloped from the ground up, with dynamic visuals, data-driven graphics, and seamless workflow integration, it is, simply put, a new paradigm for visual storytelling.
Revolutionary visuals
Craft visuals like never before. Reality5 uses the power of Unreal Engine 5.3 to create hyper photorealistic virtual environments and graphics in real-time. Our tools blend the physical and virtual worlds to create true-to-life visuals that are so believable it’s incredible. Get ready to rewrite the rules of reality.
Next-level storytelling
Tell stories you never dreamed possible. Reality5 effortlessly creates dynamic scenes with data-driven magic, transforming your concepts into interactive masterpieces where every pixel has a purpose.
Artful integration
Say goodbye to friction and hello to a world where your ideas flow freely, without technical constraints. Reality5 integrates seamlessly with your current technology and editorial systems. Unleash your imagination.
Reliability redefined
Robust. Efficient. Effective. Powered by Unreal’s rendering backbone, and battle-tested with over 2 million hours of flawlessly-produced content, Reality5 pushes workflow and productivity gains across the board, without complexity,
In Short
Reality Hub: single control interface
Efficient. Effective. Fun to use. The Reality Hub system controls all of our graphics platforms, giving operators confidence, flexibility, and control. It also saves time and reduces errors by integrating with newsroom systems, studio automation, and other data providers to streamline data handling processes.
Traxis Talent tracking
Through the convergence of Reality5, Unreal 5.3 and our Traxis Talent Tracking, our clients can fully harness Unreal native capabilities, including a collision control mechanism that allows the talent to interact with virtual objects, all while enhancing realism with dynamic shadows and reflections.

Photorealism
Reality uses Unreal Engine by Epic Games, the most photo-realistic real-time game engine, as the 3D renderer. With the advanced real-time visual effects capabilities, Reality system ensures the most photo-realistic composite output possible.
Tracking Technology and Lens Calibration
Reality, the broadcast compositing system supports industry standard mechanical and optical camera tracking systems. Reality can use the lens calibration data sent by the tracking devices.
Talent Tracking
When the talent tracking data acquired by Reality, the engine positions the talent inside the virtual world in the correct position and depth. This technology automatically enables the creation of accurate reflections and refractions of the talent. Interaction between the real and physical is achieved with utmost realism thanks to Reality’s industry first and only feature of compositing in 3D space. All process happens in one single machine.

Compositing in 3D space
As a unique approach in the market, in Reality, green screen image is composited with graphics in 3D scene. This technique results in real-time realistic reflections and refractions of the physical objects and the people inside the green screen on top of the graphics. Also blooming effects and lens flares are composited over the real elements. All of the compositing is made in 16 bit floating point, for HDR precision.
Real-time Ray Tracing
Reality takes advantage of latest powerful technologies from world’s most leading companies like Nvidia RTX GPU technology to produce high quality and realistic rendering possible in the industry today. Real-time ray tracing technology brings cinematic quality rendering capability to live production and provides realistic lighting, shadows and reflections.
Videowall and Portal Window
Reality can feed your videowalls with high-resolution 3D graphics. By using camera tracking data, you can even convert your videowall into a portal to a virtual environment. Reality system easily connects to the videowall through SDI, HDMI or display port. Combining portal window with ceiling extension, you will be able to have a virtual studio without green screen.
