Vizrt AI Keyer kills the green screen and creates virtual scenes in any environment
The Vizrt AI Keyer maximizes engagement and expands possibilities with virtual scenes anywhere, advancing Vizrt’s AI-native platform for visual storytelling
Vizrt, the AI platform for visual storytelling, today announces the launch of its AI Keyer, expanding the possibilities and accessibility of virtual and extended reality (XR) scenarios.
The Vizrt AI Keyer enables background switching and augmented reality (AR) graphics insertion in every space, whether indoors or outdoors. The secure, proprietary solution is trained extensively on real-world footage across environments and lighting conditions to recognize human shapes as foregrounds, and separates backgrounds seamlessly, so talent can move around while being locked into the virtual scene.
“Creating XR environments typically demands large infrastructure investments and requires specialized skills for daily operations. The Vizrt AI Keyer removes all these constraints, so high-quality virtual scenes and AR graphics become a reality for live productions of every size,” says Edouard Griveaud, Senior Product Manager at Vizrt.
The Vizrt AI Keyer’s extensive capabilities bring AR into any environment, whether it’s inserting remote speakers into a global town hall environment, switching the visual location of a presenter in a news segment, or creating a completely virtual ad wall behind a player in a post-match interview.
Without needing green screens, complex lighting setups, and time-consuming chroma keying, production teams can find new ways of engaging audiences and maximizing sponsorship value from anywhere.
