Origin

Born out of an Epic MegaGrant.

To continue bending technology to the will of our content, we have created a platform that allows makers and technologists to focus on what they do best.

FUTURE.STAGE was born out of an Epic Games MegaGrant and ongoing collaboration with Patrick Osborne & Evil Eye Pictures (Emmy Award winning, Pearl, for innovation in interactive storytelling).

Effortlessly connect actors, directors and crew via the cloud. Capture face, head, voice, puppeteer keyframe animation, trigger cameras, lighting cues and any events that you want to put into your show. All of the data is synchronized and streamed in real-time to any number of Unreal Engine instances around the world. Stream live to YouTube, Twitch, or anywhere in the Metaverse ... or record takes and play them back after your shoot to work in post-production.
