Virtual Production

We wanted to recreate the idea that was used to shoot the 2019 Lion King movie to scope out possibilities of using it in our productions. The concept is to use the movement of a physical camera to shoot a completely CGI environment that existed only virtually. Since VR headsets already track the position and rotation of its controllers, we fixed a virtual camera onto them inside Unity and exported its feed as a video. This pipeline worked perfectly well. The limitation is that the tracking works only within a range of 5-6 feet around a Pico 3 headset.
