05 Apr Digital CorNeR: Technopole’s Virtual Studio for the production of immersive content

Assembly of the Virtual Studio at the CNR Technopole building has been completed.

The Studio will be used for the production of usable content with emerging human-machine interfaces (e.g., augmented, virtual, immersive and interactive reality, voice recognition, etc.).

The Virtual Studio is in line with the most current broadcast standards and includes: a panoramic green screen (180°+), 4k director and cameras, ambisonic microphone, audio direction and monitoring, led lighting on beams, lighting control system and workstation to handle video streams up to 8k.

The equipment, acquired as part of the Digital CorNeR project with co-financing from the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, will enable:

realize immersive stereoscopic filming (3D 8K 360);
live interactive experiences in VR, developing on the most popular platforms and fruition systems (Unreal Engine, Unity 3D, Meta ecosystem…);
developing augmented reality solutions for remote events.
The latter possibility may also involve the use of 5G technology, which is being tested precisely with the use cases envisaged by the Digital CorNeR project.

The Virtual Studio will soon be connected in NDI network to all other CNR spaces developed within the project for content creation and enjoyment of digital and immersive audiovisual content.

Digital CorNeR is a project co-funded by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy. The project has MISTER Smart Innovation, manager of the CNR Technopole, as the lead partner and the collaboration of partners: the National Research Council, Proambiente scrl, M.P.D.A. aps and Luciano Pavarotti Foundation.
