Pose XR

An original concept by FIA and dandelion + burdock, Pose XR is a virtual tool to art direct your own fashion shoot.

Featuring a series of volumetric videos, our model was captured in a variety of outfits in 360° and then integrated directly into an interactive 3D experience - all streamed through your web browser.

The real-time environment can be controlled in your web browser via a series of parameters with almost infinite possibilities. By providing a set of simple to use yet highly flexible tools, each virtual shoot can have wildly different outcomes. Even minimal changes to the colour palette and lighting of a scene will radically affect the mood and overall feel of the space. These unique moments can then be captured to keep and share.

Mixed reality and improvements in real-time content tools allow us to rethink our approach to alternative forms of content production. These trends are part of a greater push toward digital transformation and creating immersive experiences. With the evolution of virtual production, we believe that "free-viewpoints" and "reality" will be key elements in helping the virtual medium succeed.

Pose XR was launched at the Victoria and Albert Museum on the weekend of the 24th September 2021 as part of Digital Design Weekend and London Design Festival.

There were several key objectives for us on this project. The first was to demonstrate a creative output for reality capture for use by media production houses, event providers, fashion brands and innovators, and stakeholders in the creative arts. We used realistic, volumetric video captures to showcase the possibilities of the technology.

We also used this project as a way to showcase the power of a customisable 3D experience streamed in the browser. This distribution method will enable users to access the experience no matter what device they are using. We will also target a solution whereby the viewer will be able to download the setting they have created in the form of a GIF or video.
