NEW PRODUCT: Brainstorm 3D Edison Pro
By Jennifer P
AR/VR real-time presentations made easy
Edison PRO is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, and cost-effective solution for creating amazing live and online presentations. Users can start off with a simple PPT or PDF file and then add rich media, from pictures, sound and video to complex 3D objects and animations from the built-in libraries or any other source. Presenters can immerse themselves in a virtual environment and easily control the presentation using standard devices, such as a clicker.
Dazzling live AR presentations in just two steps
1. Load a Template
Edison PRO comes with a library of pre-defined templates, scenes, furniture, pointers, screens and other objects to populate the scene, available as free downloads.
2. Insert Your PPT/PDF Presentation
Fully Bonded Portable Wireless Streaming Encoder for easy, HD live video streaming from anywhere directly to Facebook Live, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch & more! The LiveU Solo portable live video encoder offers one-touch, wireless live streaming, directly from your camera source to any online destination.
Customize your presentation adding new assets
Once the template is loaded, Edison PRO can key out and insert the presenter inside the template scene by using its built-in chroma keyer. Then, the scene can be further customized, adding assets such as videos, images, 3D objects and much more. And, as Edison PRO is compatible with Unreal Engine scenes, your backgrounds can be as photorealistic as any high-end scene.
Once the template scene is loaded, users can customize it at will, changing the displays, furniture, backgrounds and adding elements like pointers or even interactive templates for quizzes and polls.
Users can also import any material they may require, like images, videos or 3D objects, regardless they have been custom-built for a presentation or downloaded from available libraries or stock image pages.
Turn any presentation into a live, virtual experience
Edison PRO is an innovative, template-based playout application that seeks to transform any live, online presentation or conference into an immersive experience through AR and virtual environments, allowing users to enhance their speech and storytelling with real-time 3D graphics and other visual aids, including immersing themselves in the presentation.
Based on Brainstorm’s 25 years of broadcast experience in virtual sets and AR, Edison PRO substantially improves the impact of any presentation. Users do not require any experience in graphics, video, image or 3D, as the starting point for their sessions is a PPT of PDF document.
Compatible with standard presentation tools
Edison PRO can import standard PPT and PDF files so the slides or pages can be displayed and controlled by the presenter by using Edison’s interface. The presentation can also be controlled using standard clicker devices, smartphones or tablets.
Easy to use and control
Running a presentation is as easy as loading a template and importing the slides. Once a template is loaded, Edison PRO can key out and insert the presenter inside the 3D Virtual Reality scene, which can be further customized.
TrackFree virtual cameras that turn your virtual set limitless
Using Brainstorm’s patented TrackFree™ technology, Edison PRO takes the video feed of your fixed camera and creates virtual camera views from it. These are flexible, independent from the live feed, and can move freely in 3D space, as pedestals or cranes do in live production environments. This feature expands the virtual environment far beyond the limits of the physical chroma set. Users can change the camera view or create a new one at any time, instantly, with just a click!
Unreal Engine compatible
Edison PRO is compatible with UE scenes, which can be used as 3D backgrounds for the presentation. This improves your presentations with the ability to use hyper realistic background scenes in real-time.
Also, the optional Edison UC (Edison Unreal Control) plugin allows for controlling and editing the UE scene’s blueprints, objects and properties directly from Edison’s own, user-friendly interface.
