Reality Engine™ is world's first real-time node based 3D compositor enabling real-time visual effects pipelines featuring video I/O, keying, compositing and rendering UHD/4K in one single software in real-time. As the most photorealistic virtual studio production product, Reality Engine™ provides its client the tools to create the most immersive content possible including augmented reality productions, real-time data driven graphics and real-time ray tracing for cinematic quality rendering and revolutionize storytelling in broadcasting, media and cinema industry.

Photorealism

Reality Engine™ uses Unreal®  Engine by Epic Games, the photorealistic real-time game engine, as the 3D renderer. With the advanced real-time visual effects capabilities, Reality Engine™ ensures the most photorealistic composite output possible.

Real-time Ray Tracing

Reality Engine™ 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.

Real-time Compositing in 3D Space 

As a unique approach in the industry, the green screen video is composited with virtual graphics in 3D space. This technique results in real-time dynamic reflections of the physical objects and the talent on the virtual graphics.  Like reflections, refractions of physical objects are also created automatically in real-time. Reality Engine™ composites video by using 16-bit floating point arithmetic for HDR precision. Having the control of full compositing pipeline, all gamma and color space conversions are handled precisely. By using this technology, the real world and the virtual elements are blended seamlessly.

Reality Keyer

Reality Keyer™ is the world’s first and only real-time image based keyer that works on GPU. Reality Keyer™ preserves real environment details such as contact shadows, transparent objects and sub-pixel details like hair.

Reality Keyer™ can work also with 4:4:4 RGB camera sources. The keyer also supports 3D masks for “force-fill” and “spill bypass” buffers besides garbage mask. Those mask s enable hybrid virtual studio operation which lets you combine virtual and real environments.

Advanced Augmented Reality

Having the tracked camera feed as an input video, Reality Engine™ is able to render reflections and refractions of the real environment onto the virtual augmented objects. Real-time 3D reflections and the shadows of the virtual objects are also composited over the incoming camera feed simulated with 3D perspective.

Reality API

Reality.net API gives possibility to users to develop their own 3rd party control applications for specific needs such as data driven graphics.

Videowall and Portal Window

Reality Engine™ 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. Combining portal window with ceiling extension, you will be able to have a virtual studio without green screen.

Tracking Technology

Reality Engine™ 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 Engine, 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 Engine’s industry first and only feature of com-positing in 3D space.

Increase the Visual Fidelity of Virtual Studio and Augmented Reality Productions

• Enables accurate reflections and casting of virtual shadows, automatically


• Gives the ability to interact with and move around virtual objects


• Provides the ultimate freedom for presenters to move and perform

TRAXIS talentS can identify the people inside the 3D virtual environment without any wearables. Deploying TRAXIS makes beacons or wearables -talents had to wear to track their movement obsolete, thus giving more flexibility and ease in moving in virtual studios. TRAXIS also introduces a new level of visual fidelity to virtual production by enabling photorealistic shadows, reflections and refractions to appear in the correct location and position.

Broadcast Grade

Designed by live production experts, talentS works 24/7 continuously without any interruption. There is no need to touch talentS unless the 3D region is redefined or talentS is moved to a new location.

talentS sends data through industry-standard FreeD protocol and integrates with Reality ecosystem and any other FreeD speaking platform. talentS can send the data at every frame rate required by the broadcasters or production crew from 24 to 59.94.

Power of AI & Machine Learning

With cutting-edge AI algorithms and the power of tensor cores of NVIDIA GPU, talentS extracts the talent’s 3D location from the image with utmost precision. It sends the tracking data to Reality Engine to create accurate reflections, refractions and the virtual shadows of the talent inside the 3D space. This disruptive approach to talent tracking unlocks a new level of freedom inside the virtual space.

Easy Setup & Calibration

talentS comes as pre-calibrated and preinstalled. Place the equipment on the desired spot, connect the cables, and turn on the power. It automatically starts to track the region it sees. You just need to measure the height of the stereoscopic camera and align the coordinates of talentS to the studio.

Now you are set to go.

You can define the region you want to track in 3D space. This helps to prevent unwanted movement outside of the tracked area to be noticed by talentS.

Alex4D 360° Effects works exclusively with Apple’s Final Cut Pro 10.4 and later. This kit of simple to use effects range from effects that stylise whole spheres of video to those that help viewers notice specific features of the 360° environment. As well as working with spheres of video, they also work with overlays such as logos, pictures and titles.

Alex4D 360° Effects includes three free plugins that can instantly save time in spherical video production.

The pack is divided into six categories: Repeat – to repeat footage and overlays around the sphere, Highlight – to attract attention to specific parts of the environment, Blur – blur parts of your footage and overlays, Stylize – to change the look of whole spheres at a time, Masks – to help overlay areas of 360° content inside other spheres and Flat – to make more of 360° footage used in flat non-spherical videos.

Final Cut Pro X is the best NLE for making 360° videos. Alex4D 360° Effects can be used to make videos destined for Facebook, YouTube and Twitter whose applications and websites can now display 360° videos automatically.
