There are 3 main experience layers:1. The Exterior Space2. The Intimate Space3. The Inner Space In the exterior space, you get the basics: you hear the conversation from a distance and basic representations of it visually. In the intimate space, you get more richness and quality and nuances of the voices talking - and in the timbre, rhythm, and intensities of the voices the personality, emotions, intentions and dynamics come through in subtle ways - and these subtle layers will be represented in the visuals, exaggerated and thereby become more to the surface. For example emotions are shown as glows or colors, variations of density in the figures following confidence, dynamics between the two is shown in particles traveling between them or colliding. The inner space starts as you move into the body of one of the two. In this space you see and hear through the mind and body of the character - a place where the communication is heavily formed by the character’s personal emotions and associations. This will especially be represented through an intensified sound design surrounding and disrupting the talking voices. https://superposition.dk/VR-Our-Technical-Approach Sun, 26 Apr 2020 16:02:10 +0000 Superposition | XR studio https://superposition.dk/VR-Our-Technical-Approach <img width="1465" height="492" width_o="1465" height_o="492" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a859e6b5b584aa58ff4bcf884e99fc7b28549e36873bc14a6373f46d52bc1f4f/Omid-Zarei--Anne-Jeppesen-VR-Biennale-Venezia---00028.jpg" data-mid="68533662" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a859e6b5b584aa58ff4bcf884e99fc7b28549e36873bc14a6373f46d52bc1f4f/Omid-Zarei--Anne-Jeppesen-VR-Biennale-Venezia---00028.jpg" /> production pipeline We record the main layer of visuals, the two characters performance, using the depth camera Kinect Azure and through Depthkit software. The performance-capture in practice will be the talents pthe visuals to the audio recording which is the master script. This is also the stage at which we perform the blocking of the scene. We’ll be using two Kinect Cameras daisy chained in a studio to be able to capture a wider area of the body surfaces, from front and back. We then transfer these point-cloud data and import in Maya as animated meshes (OBJ sequence or ALEMBIC). Most of our art direction happens in Maya where we turn the meshes into dynamic particles. The advantage of using dynamic particles is that we can simulate physical interactions with the forms. We’ve chosen to create this universe in Maya since it has an incredibly powerful set of tools for particle effects and animation In Maya, we also create the other layers of animation that correspond to the layers of visual experience in the VR world of our piece. The end result of this process is 4 layers of mesh animation with particle behaviour. These layers are: 1. &nbsp; visuals seen in the exterior space 2. &nbsp; visuals seen in the intimate space 3a. visuals seen in the inner space through character A’s POV 3b. viusals seen in the inner space through character B’s POV All these final layers are then exported from Maya to Unity where they are put into place and made interactive with the spectator’s positioning in the scene in virtual reality. The lighting of the scene will be intuitively rebuilt in Unity using skybox and a light map brought in from Maya. https://superposition.dk/Production Fri, 06 May 2022 14:37:07 +0000 Superposition | XR studio https://superposition.dk/Production A Vocal Landscape has won an EpicGames Epic MegaGrants, it won a Special Prize for volumetric capture at Microsoft’s Mixed Reality Capture Studios in San Francisco at VIFF Immersed.
