An initial system prototype from 2017 evolved into a polished product for our "NHK: End of Year Show" visual experience. Features include the ability to customise within Unity, adjust the colour temperature and conduct post-production colour grading. We now track real camera information to allow for TV quality augmented reality, and trigger animations from external control devices to allow for next-gen theatre performances.
