Augmented virtuality in real time for pre-visualization in film

This project looks into creating an augmented virtuality pre-visualization system to empower indie filmmakers during the onset production process. Indie directors are currently unable to pre-visualize their virtual set without the funds to pay for a high-fidelity 3D visualization system. Our team has created a pre-visualization prototype that allows independent filmmakers to perform augmented virtuality by placing actors into a computer-generated 3D environment for the purposes of virtual production. After performing our preliminary usability research, we have determined a clear and effective 3D interface for film directors to use during the production process. The implication for this research sets the groundwork for building a pre-visualization system for on-set production that satisfies independent and emerging filmmakers.
