Project Insights
I was on-site as part of a project at Hochschule Düsseldorf to digitise the complex structures of the historic Piazza Metallica together with Hannes Hartmann. We focused on a highly detailed capture, circling the building in one fluid run despite snow and icy paths.
The finished 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) model served as the foundation for the pre-visualization of a video shoot. Camera angles and paths could be planned exactly in 3D—a massive advantage that saved us from having to return to the site for additional scouting in the winter weather.
Later on, we integrated the set into the virtual studio at HSD, successfully demonstrating that this workflow is fully suited for live broadcast scenarios. We also tested the environment with a VR headset to experience the captured space immersively.
While integrating splat data into traditional 3D pipelines remains a technical hurdle regarding performance, the photorealistic representation of reflections and fine metal grids provided immense value for production prep.

Project Insights
During the Vizrt Days 2026 in Munich, I used the PortalCam to capture the entire event venue. The main hall, featuring a stage for presentations and panels, was scanned the day before and seamlessly transformed into a virtual set.
The software automatically maps the physical boundaries of the real world. This built-in collision detection allowed us to navigate an avatar through the space, making it instantly ready for interactive applications. Interactive physics were demonstrated by allowing virtual stage presenters to kick away chairs, which could even fall down from the stage thanks to the generated bounding boxes.
However, dynamic elements still pose a challenge. The moving video on the large LED screen caused visual distortions, and moving people or shifted objects created ghosting artifacts.
This scan was utilised during Vizrt Days inside a live broadcasting pipeline. The live demonstration featured live video from an AI keyer with integrated camera and person tracking data, using a virtual flight through the hall as an opener. Another setup explored remote control of physical studio lights in Düsseldorf via VR and a 360-degree video feed, with the 3DGS also viewable on an Apple Vision Pro headset.
