700191Living RoomsClosedGRD Proof of MarketInnovate UKThe Living Rooms system enables visitors to historic places to see locations come to life through large display panels that serve as ‘magic windows’ onto rooms, views and exteriors. The system combines performances by real or virtual actors against the real-life, real-time ‘set’ of a historic location. The filmed action and the live video feed of the set are integrated into a composite video image shown on a display panel. Visitors see on-screen the action taking place amongst the furniture and against the live background. Unlike a film simply made and then shown in the same location, the Living Rooms system shows real-time changes in the space, such as changing light conditions or the bustle of people in the background. Visitors experience the action as if it were happening in the space they share in the here and now.
