Title of talk: "Virtual
Studios and beyond"
Abstract:
The integration of real and virtual
scene elements has been a feature of TV production for many
decades. However, severe constraints are usually placed
on what is possible, for example by forcing the camera to
remain fixed. In recent years, systems have been developed
to overcome many of these limitations. This talk will review
the technological developments that have made these advances
possible, and show examples of how they are being applied
in today's TV production. Current research is looking at
pushing the technology further, to support applications
such as immersive TV. Some of this work will be discussed.

The BBC has developed an alternative to blue screen which
uses a specially developed, neutral coloured material for
