WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"The introduction of Pixotope Living Photo significantly enriched the BBC Sport Olympic Virtual Studio content production. The ability to introduce player avatars that tracked the camera, making athletes appear as though they were physically in the studio truly added an extra dimension. The capture and processing of each avatar is remarkably efficient, requiring approximately 2-5 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively. The production teams were pleased with the results, and we are excited to see how this product evolves in live sports broadcasts that want to add that extra personality to their player profile imagery."

FAQs

What is Pixotope Living Photo and how does it work?

Pixotope Living Photo is a broadcast‑quality, real‑time lightfield solution that transforms a subject filmed on a turntable against a green screen into a dynamically trackable AR asset. Using Pixotope’s Generator and Plugin:

  1. Capture a 360° turn of your subject.
  2. Generate a lightfield file that reacts to camera moves.
  3. Integrate it into live AR, VS or XR workflows - no 3D modeling needed
What types of content work best for Living Photo?

Pixotope Living Photo is ideal for single subjects - athletes, presenters, politicians, musicians - filmed with clear lighting and green background on a turntable.

Scenes with defined depth and static poses deliver the most realistic results.
Can the talent move during the capture process?

Yes! you don't have to compromise on your creative vision. Talents can add slight movement during their capture - from turning their heads to look at the camera, through win gestures, or hero pose - it is all about telling the story.
How fast can I bring a Living Photo to air?

Capture takes just 2–5 minutes, and lightfield generation can be done in about 10 minutes on-site. The asset can then be deployed in the graphics engine's scene within minutes—making it ideal for live or event-based workflows. 
What are the setup requirements?

You’ll need:

  • A single camera (e.g., DSLR, broadcast) mounted at subject’s eye level.
  • A green/blue screen backdrop and even lighting.
  • A turntable for 360° capture.
  • Pixotope Generator + Lightfield license and Pixotope Engine/Plugin
Can Living Photos be used in live broadcasts?

Yes. Once integrated, Living Photos behave like real 3D virtual set elements - tracking with live cameras and compositing seamlessly in AR/XR studios during broadcast.
How does Pixotope Living Photo differ from volumetric capture methods? 

Unlike traditional volumetric capture methods that require extensive equipment, multiple cameras, and hours of setup time, Pixotope Living Photo uses a streamlined approach with minimal gear.

It requires only one camera, a green screen background, a rotating platform, and can capture subjects in stunning 360-degree views with setup times of just minutes rather than hours. 
Can Living Photos be created on-site at events? 

Yes, the streamlined workflow allows for on-site avatar creation. The compact setup and quick processing times make it ideal for live events, sports broadcasts, or any production where you need to create content quickly. 
How realistic do Living Photos look compared to traditional methods? 

Living Photos offer superior realism compared to: 

  • Flat 2D photos that lack depth and dimension 
  • Artificial avatars that can appear lifeless 
  • Traditional 3D scans that often produce flat, static models 
  • The technology creates natural, lifelike representations with full 360-degree viewing
