We were asked to help the BBC’s internal VR team with the roll-out of their virtual studios as the BBC News team moved to its new headquarters in Central London.

For the BBC London VR set we helped implement real-time reflections, ambient occlusion and various other tweaks to add more realism to the set.

The reflection solution was rolled out to other shows, as the same physical desk is always present in the studio.

We also implemented some experimental features, including the ability to hide the physical cameras within the virtual environment.
