The Weather Channel's New Virtual Studio

Zero Density technology will be used in The Weather Channel technology pipeline to visualize virtual graphics live with the help of Zero Density’s Reality Engine.

The tech is powered by a native Unreal Engine node-based compositor which provides photorealistic 3D virtual studio and augmented reality graphics. Michael Potts, vice president of design at The Weather Channel, states that this new tech will be used for The Weather Channel’s Immersive Mixed Reality Experiences.

The new studio officially debuted on June 2. The Weather Channel has been experimenting with immersive, virtual reality technology for the last couple of years. You probably remember how they presented the potential impacts of tornadoes with visuals by The Future Group.
