Live entertainment is becoming more sophisticated by the day. Nowadays, it’s harder to know what is real and what is not when streaming live using your phone or TV. This is because the artificial entertainment world has been combined with the realworld. This brings us to mixed reality (MR), an emerging technology that borrows from AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality).
Generally, MR promises more immersive content for live streaming by introducing artificial factors in the real world. Because of this, observers believe that mixed reality production is the future of entertainment streaming. Here are 5 reasons to support this argument:
1. Advanced Entertainment Streaming
Today, so many advanced studs are coming up with the sole purpose of offering live streaming entertainment solutions. They include studios for eSports, virtual commerce, gaming product launching, corporate communications, demos, and presentations. These studios need a different kind of interactivity and it can only be guaranteed with MR.
2. The Emergence Holographic Headsets
A number of MR-based headsets are emerging. The most recent one is HoloLens, an MR computing headset. The headset allows you to experience both worlds (reality and artificial). The headset shows incredible results, especially in action replays.
3. 2D Screen Streaming Showing Progress
Currently, live MR content is comfortably viewed in 2D. This is via flat screens, PCs, and smartphones. In as much as everyone is talking about 3D, there is no doubt that these smart gadgets are the present and the future. This basically means that MR is here to stay.
4. The Need for Camera Synchronization
Where we are going, all immersive entertainment studios will need to be equipped with multiple cameras to allows live viewing. These cameras will also have trackers attached. All this is an MR vision that will come to pass sooner.
5. MR and TV Production
Smart TV manufacturers are busy leveraging chroma key innovation to guarantee better viewing experience. So many TVs nowadays allow better interaction by providing you with real-time quality graphics.
Clearly, there is so much promise in MR. Therefore, it’s hard to dispute that mixed reality production is the future of entertainment streaming. In fact, many experts predict the big media corporations such as BBC will form future collaborations with gaming companies, which have core competencies 3D modeling, animation, and coding. This simply implies that the potential for mixed reality production will be huge and we can only wait to see. So considering how things are shaping up, the best thing any stakeholder who wants to take advantage of the MR’s potential can do is just to accept and prepare for it.
