With the halt in production, broadcast and live events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, disguise carried out an accelerated launch of its xR solution and allowed free access to its Designer software. In addition, the company hosted a series of webinars in over 10 languages and recently launched an e-learning hub with online certified training courses to support the community in leveraging this new technology.

The technology has already seen successful applications, enabling customers to deliver breath-taking remote immersive productions for music artists such as Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas and Ellie Goulding, enterprise businesses like SAP, educational institutions like the University of Michigan, broadcast TV shows like MTV Video Music Awards 2020 and America’s Got Talent, product launches for Asahi and Under Armour and many other virtual experiences in more than 20 countries.
