The Virtual World Keeps
Evolving: Brainstorm
Multimedia Infinity Set 2.0
Brainstorm Multimedia launched Infinity Set last year, hailed as the most advanced virtual
set solution, a product developed to revolutionise virtual studio production...

T

his IBC 2015, Brainstorm is proud
to announce Infinity Set version
2.0 with three different licences that
gives the user access to unleashed
possibilities.
Infinity Set takes realism to a new
level, as it can generate a true 3D
representation of the live character
from a video feed, generating a realtime 3D volume which is continuously
regenerated,
repositioned
and
remapped based on the image coming
from the camera. This patented
technology also allows the character
to cast real shadows over virtual 3D
elements while interacting with any
element in the scene.
The advanced compositing features
of Infinity Set allow designers and
producers to create truly realistic realtime 3D scenes where the different
elements behave like those of the
real world, not like video layers or
the classic chromakeyed image over
a background. Infinity Set can handle
multiple input sources, no matter if
they are real cameras or video feeds,
and the resulting scenes can be as
complex as required, with multiple
elements interacting in the virtual set.
Infinity Set includes a complete realtime 3D graphics toolset, allowing for
the seamless integration of 3D objects
within the scene, and imported from a
variety of third-party packages.
Furthermore, now Infinity Set 2.0,
Brainstorm's graphics creation, CG and

The Tele Transporter enables real-time tracking data - embedded in real cameras - to be applied to the parameters of the virtual cameras

playout system, includes the capability
to integrate Aston 3D projects within
a virtual environment such that any
graphic created with Aston 3D may be
integrated inside the virtual set.
It is as if a frame or a window has
been opened up in the 3D space and
inserted within it are the graphics
previously created in the Aston 3D.
What's more, although these projects
are inserted seamlessly in the scene,
they can be modified directly in Aston
3D. Each project comes with full
capabilities - including StormLogic
and other assets - so all interactions
between graphics that are designed in

Aston 3D, are also available in Infinity
Set.
Infinity Set combines the power of
the eStudio engine and the simplicity
of EasySet 3D to create a new
environment for next-generation
crossmedia broadcast requirements.
Infinity Set also allows external
data to interact in real-time with
the graphics within the scene or the
virtual studio itself. Also, these objects
can be edited and further animated
within Infinity Set create complete
productions and shows, and played out
directly from Infinity Set or controlled
by external OnDemand applications.

The character is able to cast real shadows over virtual 3D elements while interacting with any element in the scene

TrackFree
Infinity Set features new tracking
technologies that allow merging the
best of both tracked and trackless
worlds while including new possibilities
for advanced Augmented Reality
applications. TrackFree is a totally
new and revolutionary approach to
virtual set production developed by
Brainstorm. It is a camera tracking
independent
technology
which
combines in a single virtual camera
the precision and higher quality of
the most complex camera tracking
systems with the flexibility, freedom
and ease of use of modern trackless
systems such as EasySet 3D.
Tele Transporter
With Infinity Set, real-time tracking
data embedded in real cameras and
post-production tracking data included
in pre-recorded video can immediately
be applied to the parameters of the
virtual cameras. This allows for the
seamless combination of 3D virtual
sets with real characters and prerecorded video feeds, all moving
together with precise perspective
matching.
