Using computers equipped with the latest consumer GPUs (graphic processing units), we run simulations and photorealistic renderings of virtual environments.

We can also facilitate the local running of large language models (LLMs), AI, and real-time computer vision algorithms.

The studio is specially-designed with virtual production in mind - a newly-established filming technique which blends virtual environments with a physical set.

To achieve this result, the green screen is replaced with a projection screen, facilitating its integration with game engine technologies, tracking, and light control.

The studio specialises in running multi-user Extended Reality (XR) applications for learning, training, and research.

Through these applications, users are transported to virtual worlds. While immersed, their movements and actions can be tracked by our studio, allowing them to participate in one shared virtual space.

Below is a video which provides a glimpse into one of our recent projects involving the technique of 3D Gaussian Splatting. This collaboration between LLInC, the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, and the City of Leiden culminated in a Virtual Reality simulation which facilitates research into the fear of crime and possible interventions.

Our studio is capable of both 3D printing and scanning, both of which are incorporated into the system as a whole. 

Our podcasting table can comfortably host and record four participants at any one time.
