Interactive Virtual Studio - "Therapy" [DE]
The production was carried out in 2024/2025 as part of the Interactive Virtual Studio course at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences.
The goal was interactions using markerless person tracking, including MetaHumans at the virtual studio.
In this tech demo "Therapy", a patient gets a flash back in a meeting with therapist. It is triggered by getting a teddy bear.
The graphics were rendered live with Viz Artist 5 and Unreal 5. Captury's markerless person tracking delivers
skeleton data for the MetaHuman as well as positions of the hands, controlling the teddy bear.
Occlusion is handled by moving a video plane using the distance of the actor from the camera.
The opening flight shows Duesseldorf city using Cesium data.
The first room uses scanned data from the anechoic chamber of the HSD and is rendered using Gaussian Splats.
