The challenge

Historically, quiz shows rely on face-to-face interaction. But in the current social distanced climate, Tom needed to find a way to bring his contestants together from different corners of the world without physically requiring them to be in the same space.

He also needed to create an environment for his show that is engaging and responsive to real-time game updates.

The solution

Using disguise xR, the team could expand the virtual environment beyond the physical bounds of the SmartStage and make it react to live game updates to capture the audience attention.

disguise xR and White Light’s SmartStage gave Tom and his team the ability to arrive on-site, load up the latest version of their content and immediately start shooting with the White Light team handling the technical production.

One of the main advantages of working in xR is how instantly familiar the environment becomes; minimal on-site inductions/rehearsals were required helping to keep studio time to a minimum. It’s so much easier than working in a green screen environment because the content is there to see and interact with.
