At the Online concert of the idol group Super Junior, which was watched by 120,000 people around the world, member Choi Siwon (pictured) appeared as a 12-meter-sized mixed reality (mr) image like the fairy genie of the lamp in Aladdin, drawing attention.
It is an unusual performance that was presented at the Online concert Beyond Love Live! by Super Junior, which was prepared by SK Telecom and SM Entertainment on the 31st of last month. When Choi Siwon was not seen, the other members urgently found it, and Choi Siwon's 3D mr image popped up behind the scenes, filling the 12m high stage.
Choi Siwon, who appeared as a huge 3D mr image, naturally waved and moved and talked with the members for about 30 seconds, and asked about 123,000 Online audiences, "No Challenge? No Change! (You can make a better world by constantly challenging). "
According to SK Telecom on the 1st, SM Entertainment and SM Entertainment prepared such an mr performance with the intention of introducing new contents based on the latest information and communication technology (ICT) to the audience around the world Online.
SK Telecom's first case of applying content produced by the mr production company Jump Studio, which started in late April, to Online Love Live! performance. The jump studio completed 3D mr content in Haru Bay after an hour-long shoot of Choi Siwon with 106 cameras. Using 3D modeling and animation technology, it is a point that it is designed to naturally blend the high-resolution mixed reality image of 12m with the actual performance hall.
Jump Studios have greatly reduced production costs and duration by automating a large part of the manual process of existing 3D modeling with △ artificial intelligence (AI), cloud △ 3D processing △ rendering technology. It automatically compresses high-capacity video data to mobile streaming capacity after up to 60 frames per second at 360 degrees, and supports a video format (MPEG4) that is compatible with existing media production systems.
With this case, SK Telecom plans to promote mr content provision projects for companies (B2B) customers in various fields in the future, and to significantly increase the experience of realistic media for 5G (5th generation mobile communication).
“With cutting-edge technology, we have provided a richer enjoyment for viewers around the world,” said Lee Sung-soo, CEO of SM Entertainment. “We will introduce an advanced Online concert by applying new culture technology (CT) to the performance field in the future.”
“In the era of untapped (non-face-to-face), the number of areas that require mr technology will increase rapidly,” said Jeon Jin-soo, head of SK Telecom's 5GX service division. “mr content will change the paradigm of entertainment, such as performance, movies and dramas,” he said.
