VPET vs Real Assist

VPET offers a holistic approach for collaborative tools that allow real-time on-set light and asset editing via an intuitive interface. The app supports ARKit. The development can be customized to any production environment and particularly considers established (offline) film pipelines. The application is intended for professional 3D animation, VFX, TV and game cinematic creation. Its development is open-source, with growing support for diverse film and VFX pipelines. VPET was initially developed in the scope of the EU funded project Dreamspace (610005). The development is continued after project Dreamspace ended in fall 2016 on behalf of Filmakademie Baden-Württembergs research and development department.

Real Assist is an AR-based Remote Assistance Cross-Platform solution that enables the enterprise to leverage efficient, schedule-based and AR-enabled capabilities with live annotations for providing remote and virtual support. Real Assist supports three roles 1. Host/ Operator who shares camera feed and receives support, 2. The instructor who provides virtual support and augments rich contents on real-time feed received 3. A spectator who participates in session as a viewer without any controls. Real Assist is equipped with more than 16 different animated 3D annotations to provide highly interactive capabilities for remote support or assistance. Each annotation control can be disposed of automatically after its rendered or can stay on screen as long as the instructor would like to. During the live support sessions, the host can reconfigure annotation as well. Real Assist uses the device’s native camera and renders as an overlay with rich 3D and 2D contents. Such AR-based assisted support sessions are connected with multiuser video and audio calls. Real Assist is built for and deployed on cloud infrastructure for greater scalability, security and high uptime. Key Features: AR-based real-time Remote Assistance Schedule support calls or sessions for multiple users Invite team members in support calls Add up to 5 members per session Supports 3 different roles for better discussion & control Attend as a supported host, on-field operator or spectator Supports role swapping in ongoing Session On Cloud Session Recording
