We recently worked with OYA black arts coalition to deliver some in-depth virtual production and unreal engine sessions!

Participants were able to learn the basics of unreal, scan objects into their scene using photogrammetry, create a 3D environment and act in front of our LED wall to create a character selection mashup!

is proud to be involved in the upcoming XP Game Developer Summit on April 21!
SIRT research leads Spencer Idenouye (Virtual Production Lead) and Stephan Kozak (CG/Animation Lead) will participate and bring their virtual production expertise to the featured panel “Universal Scene Description Roundtable Future of Virtual Collaboration”.
