University of Greenwich Develops Complete European Virtual Reality Vice Presidency Infrastructure
University of Greenwich Unveils European VP XR Solution at New Center
The University of Greenwich has announced the implementation of a cutting-edge Virtual Production (VP) XR solution at its new Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies (SHIFT) center. This 100% European technology stack, supplied and integrated by Mo-Sys, features the Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.5 ORIM VP XR LEDWALL, Brompton SX40 and XD LED video processors, and Mo-Sys StarTracker Max systems.
The Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.5 ORIM VP XR LEDWALL offers exceptional pixel density (1.5mm pixel pitch) for sharp and realistic visuals essential to immersive virtual environments. The Brompton Tessera SX40 and XD Units provide high-performance LED video processing capabilities, including advanced features like Dark Time Insertion for esports and simulation. Together, they offer flexible, scalable, and high-fidelity video processing suitable for the largest and highest resolution LED screens.
The Mo-Sys StarTracker Max System is a precision camera tracking rig critical for XR virtual production. It ensures the digital content on the LED wall matches camera movements perfectly, enhancing immersion and interaction between physical and virtual elements. The solution's seamless integration and cost-effective cabling, using Brompton’s SX40/XD system, reduce complexity and improve reliability in large-scale LED walls.
The Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.5 ORIM VP XR LEDWALL, alongside Mo-Sys and Brompton solutions, creates a 100% European VP XR ecosystem at the University of Greenwich. This commitment to local innovation, high manufacturing standards, and regional support aligns well with academic and research environments like the SHIFT center.
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 stands out as the only 100% European VP XR solution, marking a significant step towards promoting European innovation in the field.
SHIFT aims to be a pioneer in the study and development of advanced audiovisual technologies. The University of Greenwich will design virtual production training programs for industry professionals and offer employment and internship opportunities for students in the competitive film industry. Additionally, the university will participate in research and knowledge exchange projects to identify new products in the sector.
The University of Greenwich's LEDWALL is being managed by the Brompton SX40 and XD Unit LED video processors. The new center specializes in the study and development of advanced audiovisual technologies, with a focus on the creation and display of XR content, central to its research and education activities.
