out.


XRs tasked us with creating virtual environments to showcase extended reality to potential clients in their Los Angeles studio. Our process included ideating concepts that turned into immersive experiences. We provided XRs with three finalized stage concepts, including a neon-infused stage inspired by James Turrell, a branded showroom to showcase products and awards, and a Retro Rest Stop stage reminiscent of the movie Cars.


The animation team used Notch, Unreal Engine, TouchDesigner and Disguise in order to make a working XR environment. Through the use of content creation and media servers, the team successfully created optimized files that can be used in the clients' virtual production studio. Moving forward, we are recommending that XRs learns the Unreal and Notch Virtual Production Pipelines, while integrating TouchDesigner pipelines instead of Disguise as a new way to achieve virtual productions.
