disguise - the solution for live visual experiences - today releases its latest software, loaded with powerful enhancements to help its community make their best work from home and create immersive visual experiences for remote audiences.
The world may be in lockdown, but that hasn’t stopped disguise from innovating with the intent to help its community to meet production challenges in the current climate. With its latest release r17.2, disguise introduces improvements to help users optimise their workflow at home such as Application Mode and devise new concepts to connect with audiences online with Augmented Reality and 360 video.
Save time and when working up concepts
A key new addition in r17.2 is the ability to run disguise’s Designer software in ‘Application Mode’. The new mode enables Designer to run alongside multiple applications so users can perform tasks concurrently and effortlessly switch between its software and other apps. With Application Mode, users can easily pull content from the web into a project to work up concepts and share work-in-progress with others to communicate progress, gather feedback and collaborate better.
Redefine possibilities for Augmented Reality
r17.2 introduces support for HTC VIVE tracking accessories which make it possible to develop AR experiences at home without high-end tracking equipment. HTC VIVE accessories can be used to emulate camera or object tracking systems, so users can work up AR concepts from lockdown in their home office set-up, living room, bedroom, bathroom or kitchen - wherever they choose to augment their world.
Create AR natively in disguise
r17.2 also allows users to create simple AR screens without the need for other tools so they can quickly test out ideas for AR experiences. By making it possible to render layers separately, users can also experience better overall project performance and a cleaner workflow.
Engage audiences online with 360 video
With the new ‘Spherical Camera’ in r17.2, users can now render 360 video content, in disguise, engaging content for online audiences. 360 video is also a valuable addition to users’ remote production toolkit, enabling them to test out arrangements, gather feedback and gain confidence before sharing content. Users with a VR headset can also enter the 360 experience or share with others to view using a VR player.
Available now, r17.2 software is designed to help disguise users reach new creative heights at home during lockdown. Download r17.2 from: bit.ly/35b20wH
