80six recently opened Virtual Production Studios at our HQ in Slough, which houses both eXtended Reality and Virtual Production/Hybrid stages controlled from a central Gallery. 

Virtual Production/Hybrid Stage  

The VP/Hybrid Stage is suitable for multi-disciplinary productions however, it has been specifically designed for shooting virtual backgrounds for film, TV drama and commercial productions. It also doubles up as a generic production stage for hosting more traditional live and pre-recorded events, including music performances, keynote speeches and corporate presentations. 

This versatile stage can also be used to host live performances using the LED screen as a simple backdrop for a streamed event, or clients can make use of our partner's interactive audience system InKlick which enables 2-way communication between the performer and audience with extremely low latency compared with other systems currently on the market. 

xR Stage  

The xR stage immerses talent and performers in virtual environments where they can see and interact with the video content in realtime, ideal for virtual conferences, corporate events and music videos. 

80six's compact xR stage is situated in a 1700 sq ft space, controlled remotely from the studio's gallery. This ready to shoot stage has been pre-calibrated to enable clients to deliver live and pre-recorded productions across a range of disciplines, saving time and pre-production budget. Game engine technology, camera tracking, LED screens, and virtual set extension are combined to transport talent into an immersive virtual environment, one where they can move around and interact in realtime with the content displayed around them.
