Visualization and 3D tracking systems firms Planar and OptiTrack have finalized their plans for a week-long, immersive series designed to help effectively identify, design, deploy and support virtual production (VP) and extended reality (XR) projects.
The Planar Studios Virtual Production Workshop will feature technology sessions covering LED display technology, motion capture, video processing, content engines, video cameras, studio lighting and volume integration.
Planar Studios is a cooperative initiative designed to bring together experts, thought leaders and companies dedicated to the advancement of VP and XR. The Planar Studios Virtual Production Workshop reinforces Planar and OptiTrack’s ongoing commitment to helping make VP and XR solutions more accessible and streamlined in mainstream markets.
Planar and OptiTrack EVP Stephanie Hines commented, “The potential of VP and XR is
widespread, transforming the way companies present content in entertainment, corporate,
education and beyond. Planar and OptiTrack are dedicated to helping make this a reality for all.”
Planar and OptiTrack will host the workshops at Planar’s Hillsboro, Ore., headquarters, due west of Beaverton, and will offer hands-on learning in the critical elements integrated in a VP and XR volume.
In addition to learning about LED display technology design and motion capture for VP and XR applications from Planar and OptiTrack, August workshop attendees will experience trainings from a broad range of organizations, including experts from Brompton Technology, Pixera, RED, optic8 and Kino Flo Lighting Systems. Participating organizations will vary from workshop to workshop but topic areas will remain consistent.
The new workshops are being held monthly and will feature a guest sharing real-world
experience and key learnings.
Registration is currently open for workshops taking place August 21-25, as well as periodic sessions in the coming months.
