A look at the leading solutions for broadcast augmented reality

Brainstorm Multimedia eStudio and InfinitySet

Brainstorm Multimedia’s augmented reality solutions offer a range of tools within its eStudio and InfinitySet products.

eStudio offers:

  • Flexible toolset that provides solutions for all kinds of 2D and 3D real-time graphics
  • Serves as the render engine on which all other Brainstorm products run.
  • Advanced modeling toolset with geometries and primitives, imported models, hierarchy of objects, material and textures, built-in text effects and particle systems and more.

InfinitySet:

  • Supports everything from simple and complex virtual sets.
  • Compatible with fixed and tracked cameras, external feeds with embedded tracking data and data driven graphics.
  • Advanced compositing features, create fully realistic real-time 3D scenes.
  • Allows for combined Chroma Keying, even within the same production.

“AR is fully implemented in all the Virtual Set range of Brainstorm, headed by eStudio and InfinitySet, but is also available using our template-based solutions like SmartSet. infintiySet and eStudio are also able to provide the data-driven graphics required for the program. The requirements can be as simple as a single workstation with single or multiple cameras, tracked or fixed, a chroma set, etc., and the systems are modular enough to match any requirements, so the installation can be as complex as required,” said Brainstorm’s Miguel Churruca.
