University of Greenwich Develops a Complete European Virtual Reality Executive Platform
University of Greenwich Launches Pioneering Virtual Production Centre
The University of Greenwich has announced the launch of a new project, focusing on the design and delivery of education and training programs centered around virtual production. The project, housed in the University's new SHIFT (Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies) centre, aims to be a pioneer in the study and development of advanced audiovisual technologies.
The SHIFT centre, a specialized XR (Extended Reality) innovation hub, has been selected to house a unique 100% European VP XR ecosystem. This ecosystem, which stands out as the only one of its kind in Europe, is made up of cutting-edge technologies from leading providers such as Alfalite, Mo-Sys, and Brompton Technology.
The Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.5 ORIM VP XR LEDWALL, a high-performance LED display solution, offers modular, seamless video walls with high resolution and refresh rates beneficial for immersive XR environments. Mo-Sys, a key supplier of camera tracking and virtual production robotics equipment, will provide solutions for synchronizing real and virtual worlds in the XR studio at the SHIFT centre. Brompton Technology, a provider of advanced LED processing solutions, will ensure color accuracy and synchronization for the LED video walls.
This European VP XR ecosystem at the SHIFT centre is expected to contribute to the development of new products and technologies in the sector. It is also seen as a testament to the quality and performance of Alfalite's LED technologies. Alfalite's managing director, Luis Garrido Fuentes, expressed excitement about the potential contributions of their LED technologies to the advancement of research and education in audiovisual content.
The University of Greenwich's project will offer employment and internship opportunities for students in the competitive film industry, providing them with practical experience in the field. The SHIFT centre's research and education activities heavily rely on the creation and display of XR content, making it a key component in its efforts to advance XR technology.
The University of Greenwich's project also aims to contribute to the advancement of research and education in audiovisual content. The institution will participate in research and knowledge exchange projects to identify new products in the sector. The SHIFT centre's LEDWALL, managed by Brompton SX40 and XD Unit LED video processors, will be a crucial tool in this endeavour.
