HSV cheesehead 88 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I wonder if they are going to invest more in their augmented reality sets/improve on them with these renovations to the main studio. Speaking of which, are any parts of their AR sets physically real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of The Weather Channel's main studio is hard set while the rest is a massive chroma key area for their Immersive Mixed Reality (IMR) segments. There are no physical elements over in the chroma area as everything on screen is computer-generated.

Looks like this is probably an effect of IBM selling The Weather Company to private equity. Looks like the deal closed on Feb 1st, and just like that, the digital mets were gone after only one month. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240201709190/en/Francisco-Partners-Completes-Acquisition-of-The-Weather-Company It's a shame for everyone who lost their job in this process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn shame. I'm amazed at how people do this too - just stand in the middle of a bunch of green and they're able to maneuver the screen and all the apps and coherently give a forecast. Maybe we'll all get used to it with AR in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
