  • Publication number: 20220343590
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an immersive content generation system may receive a first input from a user indicating a lighting value. The computing device may receive a second input indicating a region of an immersive virtual environment to which the lighting value is to be applied. The computing device may apply the lighting value to the region of the immersive virtual environment. The computing device may output one or more images of the immersive virtual environment, the one or more images based, in part, on the input lighting value. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20220343562
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device in communication with an immersive content generation system may generate a first set of user interface elements configured to receive a first selection of a shape of a virtual stage light. In addition, the device may generate a second set of user interface elements configured to receive a second selection of an image for the virtual stage light. Also, the device may generate a third set of user interface elements configured to receive a third selection of a position and an orientation of the virtual stage light. Further, the generate a fourth set of user interface elements configured to receive a fourth selection of a color for the virtual stage light. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20220343591
    Abstract: A computing device in communication with an immersive content generation system can generate and present images of a virtual environment on one or more light-emitting diode (LED) displays at least partially surrounding a performance area. The device may capture a plurality of images of a performer or a physical object in the performance area along with at least some portion of the images of the virtual environment by a taking camera. The device may identify a color mismatch between a portion of the performer or the physical object and a virtual image of the performer or the physical object in the images of the virtual environment. The device may generate a patch for the images of the virtual environment to correct the color mismatch. The device may insert the patch into the images of the virtual environment. Also, the device may generate content based on the plurality of captured images.
