The Royal Opera House in London has installed a virtual
reality system to enable the production team to design sets and
lighting more quickly. The system, installed by Nvidia, lets
designers do in hours what previously took a stage crew
weeks.
In preparation for the installation the Royal Opera House’s IT
team spent two years producing a highly accurate model of the
auditorium that would enable the virtual stage to be viewed from
the perspective of any seat in the house. This allows sets to be
evaluated before they are built.
