Not so long ago Augmented Reality (AR) was considered a gimmick in studio presentation, but it is now becoming an integral part of many productions. AR elements are becoming part of the workflow, with integration to NRCS systems, triggered by the switcher or controlled by studio automation systems.

This three part report looks at the challenges in working with real and virtual elements. For part one we turned to the insight of Orad Hi Tec System’s studio and tracking product manager, Haim Halperin.
