UNSPACE.lab is our dedicated educational and R&D hub, where advanced innovation
meets hands-on training. Divided into two departments—creative and technical—the lab is structured to deliver comprehensive programs that equip students, professionals and partners
with the tools and knowledge required to thrive in the fast-evolving world of virtual production.
Every course is grounded in real-world applications, combining theoretical modules
with practical sessions directly inside virtual sets.
Our goal is to build a new generation of professionals capable of shaping the future of immersive storytelling—from photorealistic design to real-time production supervision.
The .design-lab is the creative engine of UNSPACE.lab, focused on shaping immersive virtual worlds and expanding the artistic frontier of real-time filmmaking. Here, participants learn how to design, build, and optimize environments specifically for LED wall productions and virtual workflows. Training includes deep dives into:
Environment Creation: Craft photorealistic, emotionally-driven virtual scenarios using Unreal Engine.
Photogrammetry Techniques: Master 3D scanning of real-world locations for use in VP-ready environments.
AI in Production Pipelines: Explore how generative AI and machine learning can accelerate creativity, assist in world-building, and optimize production tasks.
Optimization for Virtual Sets: Learn best practices to maintain high fidelity while ensuring performance on set.
Workshops with Industry Experts: Gain insights from professionals working on top-tier film, commercial, and music video projects.
The .dev-lab is the core of our technical training, preparing developers, technicians, and TDs to handle the full spectrum of virtual production systems and tools.
It focuses on the use and customization of UNSPACE.tool, providing expertise in:
Scripting & Add-on Development: Build custom scripts and tools to expand Unreal Engine’s capabilities for virtual production.
Tracking Systems Integration: Configure and manage systems like HTC Vive Mars, Mo-Sys, Optitrack, and Stype for 6DoF camera tracking.
LiveLink & Metadata Mapping: Work with real-time data transmission from Cooke/i lenses and external encoders.
IT Management & Hardware Setup: Learn how to assemble and manage the backbone of VP studios, from render nodes to network protocols.
On-Set Operations & Troubleshooting: Operate and monitor virtual sets during live shoots, ensuring precision and performance under pressure.
Our training network is a dynamic ecosystem bridging creative vision and technical excellence—blending classroom learning with on-set training, internships, and research to prepare new talent for the future of immersive media.
