On Monday, the 29th, VA Corporation held a ceremony to commemorate the opening of their new hybrid virtual production studio at the Bitmaru Broadcasting Support Center in Ilsan, Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province. During the ceremony, attended by industry professionals from the virtual production sector, guests toured the studio and witnessed a virtual production demonstration of scenes from the play "The Old Man and the Sea," rendered using VP (Virtual Production) technology.
"The Old Man and the Sea," incorporating XR (eXtended Reality) technologies, including augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR), is the first play in the country to use extended reality.
