Augmented Reality

Create next-level storytelling with augmented reality

The simplest form of Augmented Reality (AR) overlays real-time virtual graphics like props or data, on top of a video image of a physical set. The AR elements use tracking and lens data to adjust their perspective to exactly match the camera’s viewpoint.

Our Reality 5 platform takes AR to the next level. With Reality 5, AR elements become integral parts of the environment, cast ray-traced shadows and reflections on the floor and vice versa.

Whether for set extensions on your physical studio, dynamic AR graphics with real-time data or live event insertions, Reality 5 offers unrivalled storytelling capabilities that unlock efficiency and visual impact.

Zero Density’s solutions unleash the full storytelling potential of AR. You can use AR alone to enhance physical studios, or combine it with our Extended Reality (XR) and Virtual Studio (VS) solutions to make your production shine like never before.

Data and statistics integration

Want to tell stories based on large or complex data sets? Reality Hub integrates with data and statistics providers that drive template-based graphics. It supports manual data input and fully automated integrations, with or without an editorial control pass.

Reality Hub is developed using Node.js, and JSON is its mother tongue. Data with JSON format is natively supported. Any web technology delivering data can be easily integrated into your broadcast with Reality Hub.

Unified Control from Reality Hub

All broadcast graphics content can be effortlessly operated from Reality Hub, allowing for seamless execution from one control interface, with or without NRCS (Newsroom Computer System) and automation integration. Manage rundowns, playouts, and stream preview channels via a web browser for maximum flexibility.
