ABOUT THE SYSTEM

ARFX™ is the original solution for LED backdrop "window illusions"

We combine our patented award-winning spatial imaging tech with the most cutting-edge virtual production systems in the world to deliver turnkey solutions for soundstages, production companies, and virtual production studios. It starts with ARFX Pro, our software and hardware solution for LED/projection XR "in-camera composite" backdrops. Beginning in 2021, our ARFX Pro systems also include AR overlay and green screen compositing with camera and lens tracking; a complete virtual production solution.

Best-In-Class Vive Tracking

ARwall's engineers have partnered with HTC, manufacturers of the Vive tracking hardware, to create a completely proprietary tracking integration into Unreal with dramatically reduced jitter and drift. Finally, Vive is ready for primetime.

CASE STUDY

ARFX Pro on Nightflyers for Netflix & NBC

View Full Case Study →

The Goal

High quality FX visuals that meet the standard of this George R. R. Martin franchise without putting a strain on the season one budget.

The Solution

Nightflyers chose our flagship product ARFX, the first zero-latency AR/XR set extensions tool, as an alternative to traditional green screen VFX. ARFX gave the director a window into the world of Nightflyers that is visible to the cast/crew, with beautiful automated light spilling onto the sets and actors, empowering production to walk away from set with the final shot. ARFX also allowed increased efficiencies on-set and massive time savings, more setups in a shoot day, spontaneous camera movement, real-time control over CG environments, and beautiful physical set designs unrestricted by the usual constraints of green screen.

The Savings

62-73% cost savings, up to $446,000 per episode, compared to traditional VFX.
