SECTION 3.8 HOLOGRAPHIC LIVESETS

FIGURE 48

A Holographic LiveSet™ differs from other LiveSets LiveSet in that, rather than adjusting the virtual camera
position horizontally and vertically across stage having a certain fixed ‘width’, you rotate and zoom a fixed
virtual camera in a curved panorama (right up to 360 degrees).

Virtual Set Editor can use either spherical or cylindrical panoramic projections. The source panoramic
images can be acquired from any number of sources, including photos prepared using standard iPhone®
camera features, software ‘photo-stitching’ applications such as Microsoft’s Image Composite Editor® (free
at the time of writing), or even a render from 3D graphics software like NewTek’s own LightWave®
(http://www.lightwave3d.com).

FIGURE 49

VSE can map as many as four independent live video sources (TriCaster 8000) into the scene prepared
from the panoramic image you supply. These live video sources can be scaled and positioned anywhere
within the virtual environment.
