CAN VIRTUAL LOOK REAL? A REVIEW OF VIRTUAL STUDIO TECHNIQUES

Studio has proven that it can be successfully used. More and more
broadcasters are using this technology, even for complex, live-to-air
productions.

The goal of this talk is to address the most basic issue raised by this
relatively new technology: how realistic virtual sets can appear? Has the
technology reached the level high enough to create a convincing
illusion?

Virtual Studio is a very interdisciplinary technology. To answer these
questions, we need to discuss techniques related to computer graphics,
today's graphics workstations, chroma keying, video camera behavior,
camera tracking and interaction between real and virtual worlds.
