Vu One: Vu's New All-in-One Virtual Production Studio
Filmmaker Magazine: Vu just announced a new product that aims to make virtual production a lot more accessible: the Vu One.
It’s two parts. One part turnkey virtual production studio in a (very, very, big) box. One part Vu’s Virtual Studio, a software platform that makes creating and running virtual scenes a lot easier.

This is a fascinating piece of technology to me. I always appreciate when companies aim to make tech more accessible to a larger group of people. I found it very interesting that previously the main limiter of accessibility for virtual production set-ups was not the physical set-up, but instead the software that is needed to run it. Previously, people would need to be directly trained in how to use Unreal Engine in order to manage the equipment. With the new software, nearly anyone can use it, which is very impressive. I do wonder, however, if this would be the wrong product for a company that already has the skilled labor available. Would the more simplistic software mean less customizability and make it more difficult to have freedom with the equipment? I am not sure, but I would wonder if this would only serve as a "beginner" version that is less capable than previous options.
