VP Gathering 25 - Dr Ian Biscoe - Filming in the "Metaverse": new tools for distributed VP

Breda University of Applied Sciences hosted the 2025 edition of the Virtual Productions Gathering.

Meet the Speaker: Dr. Ian Biscoe - Professor - Transdisciplinary Design Networks at Design Academy Eindhoven (DAE)

Ian is a serial technology entrepreneur with start-up experience in Europe and the USA, Ian’s activities have crossed aerospace, process control, entertainment and architecture.
He is currently Professor Transdisciplinary Design Networks at Design Academy Eindhoven (DAE) where his Trans Realities Lab (TRL) is investigating applications of real-time collaborative networked XR in education, design, production and research.
His latest artistic projects explore the use of VP/XR mediated environments within live performance.

Presentation abstract:

The use of Virtual Production in film and live broadcast (combining real-time digital elements with physical production, as popularly employed in the creation of series like the Mandalorian, and films such as The Batman) is typically still bound to one physical production location.
DVP opens the possibilities of multi-site real-time coproduction, one where actors, cinematographers, directors, artists, and production staff can be virtually collocated across widely distributed geographies, working together as if physically collocated.
