Further cementing its user-friendly appeal, the platform’s intuitive interface enables operators to configure an XR setup in less than an hour, eliminating the need for specialized Unreal Engine knowledge. During live sessions, operators benefit from simplified controls, facilitating seamless interactions with virtual elements, whether operating in XR or AR mode.
The development of BACKDROP began in 2019, through the partnership between multiCAM Systems, a company that designs innovative live capture solutions, and DreamCorp, a studio specializing in the creation and development of immersive experiences in VR, AR, and XR.
