What They Say
A former Nickelodeon executive Chris Young, has been experimenting with the Meta Quest Pro and posted a video that showed him using the headset to reveal a view of his actual home by ‘erasing’ an image of its digital twin. (It’s clearer when you see it here than it is to describe).
Protocol Entertainment spoke to Young who said that it was “relatively easy to do”.
Young has been experimenting with DIY motion capture and posted this video of a family member with Xsens motion trackers and using the Unreal engine to create a ‘VFX space suit’.
He believes that the Quest Pro combined with powerful but affordable PC hardware can be a game changer for low end virtual production workflows. There are details of the technical setup in the link.
