Bring Your XR/AI Hybrid Filmmaking Workflow to Mobile ARFX Infinite Studio for iOS enables filmmakers to perform mixed reality virtual production using only an iPhone connected to ARFX for Windows. The app transforms the device into a precision camera tracker, scene controller, video capture device, and color adjustment tool, removing the need for dedicated hardware. Developed by ARwall, a leader in XR and LED volume technologies, Infinite Studio combines real-time rendering with GenAI-assisted toolsets to support advanced XR/AI hybrid filmmaking workflows. Key Features 1. Mobile Camera Tracking (Free-D Protocol) Attach the iPhone to any physical camera or shoot with the iPhone’s camera to achieve high-precision motion tracking using advanced iOS sensor fusion. The app streams stable, low-latency tracking data into ARFX for Windows, enabling reliable mixed reality virtual production and in-camera effects without dedicated hardware. 2. Mobile Video Capture for XR Filmmaking Capture video directly within the app using the iPhone’s camera. Ideal for previs, virtual scouting, mobile mixed reality testing, and on-set reference footage. Video capture keeps the virtual scene aligned with camera parameters, offering creators a fast and intuitive way to evaluate XR shots from a handheld or mounted device. 3. Mixed Reality Virtual Production Setup Configure XR scene parameters, LED wall dimensions, and virtual camera characteristics in minutes. The interface is designed for rapid calibration and efficient scene setup, supporting a streamlined Calibrate–Control–Capture workflow without requiring specialized technical expertise. 4. Color Lab Make real-time adjustments to color temperature, tint, contrast, gain, gamma, and saturation. Fine-tune highlights, midtones, and shadows to match real-world lighting and maintain visual continuity between physical and virtual environments. 5. Bookmarks Access curated viewpoints within each scene, created and lit by experienced artists. Bookmarks enable rapid navigation through complex XR environments for scouting, blocking, and shot planning. 6. Multi-User Collaboration Multiple iOS devices can connect to and control the same XR scene over a shared network. One user may operate tracking while others manage color or scene parameters, providing an efficient collaborative workflow for both independent teams and professional mixed reality productions. Why ARFX Infinite Studio for iOS Purpose-built for mixed reality virtual production Includes both tracking and mobile video capture Eliminates the need for costly tracking hardware Enables accurate camera tracking using only an iPhone Aligns with XR/AI hybrid filmmaking practices Streamlines the Calibrate–Control–Capture cycle Fully integrates with ARFX Pro, ARFX Infinite Studio, and GenAI-driven scene creation Built upon ARwall’s patented XR technologies used in professional production A New Approach to XR/AI Hybrid Filmmaking ARFX Infinite Studio lowers traditional barriers to mixed reality virtual production by simplifying calibration, tracking, capture, and operator workflows. Combined with ARFX Infinite Studio’s GenAI capabilities, filmmakers can develop, refine, and execute XR scenes faster and at significantly reduced cost. The platform supports a modern filmmaking model that merges real-time graphics rendering, AI-assisted content generation, and mobile-based production tools.
