In that context, the technique of creating VR mixed-reality video is very new, having only come to the fore since early 2016, when HTC Vive* released its own VR mixed-reality demo video, and mixed-reality trailers appeared for games-including Job Simulator * from Owlchemy Labs, and Fantastic Contraption * from Northway Games. Trailers and StreamersĮven though virtual reality has benefited from waves of hype and attention over recent years, it is still a relatively young technology. Additional companion articles and videos will follow in the future, and readers can stay up-to-date with developments by joining the Intel® Game Dev program at /gamedev. It will look at the hardware and software stack, and the process of enabling and producing mixed-reality video for VR games and applications, with a view to equipping developers to take their first steps with the technique. This paper introduces developers (and anyone else interested in the medium) to the basic principles and techniques for the creation of green-screen, mixed-reality videos for VR experiences. Until the day when every home has a VR headset, green-screen, mixed-reality video is likely to remain the best way to share the incredible VR experiences developers around the world are creating. Shot from a third-person perspective, the technique allows the production of 2D videos that show the user in the heart of the experience-immersed in a virtual world, and interacting with the elements in it-in a way that first-person perspective videos simply can’t do.
To tackle this, VR hardware producers, application developers, and video makers have created a new VR video production paradigm, with green-screen, mixed-reality video.
Regular 2D videos shot from the first-person perspective of the user don’t do justice to the real experience their limited field of view prevents them from truly giving a sense of the immersion into a 360-degree world. As VR continues to expand its horizons in games, art, and a whole string of commercial applications from real estate to health, one of the enduring challenges for its cheerleaders is effectively showcasing the experience to those without access to VR hardware.
However, it’s also a solo experience that can be hard to describe to anyone yet to don a headset and make the leap into that virtual world.
