Real-time Technologies and the affordances of virtual production: Cinema and Beyond
Rodolfo Silveira
Sala 2.01, FAL/UBI

This presentation describes real-time technologies as a cross-domain production principle, in which engine rendering + tracking + low latency create a common workflow for film, broadcasting, performance, music, XR, and data-driven art. The virtual scene functions as a live-modifiable system — inputs (camera, performer, environment) — and enables immediate visualisation, faster iteration, and closer integration between design and implementation. The focus on ‘cinema and beyond’ shows that virtual production is not just a specialised film technique, but an infrastructural shift that connects narrative, interactivity, and computational means across disciplines.
