ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Virtual studio

A virtual studio is like a magical room where you can pretend to be in any location without actually being there! Imagine you are a news reporter and you want to show people what is happening in different countries, but you can't travel to all those places. So, you can use a virtual studio to create a studio set that looks like you are in that country.

First, you need to put on some special clothes, like a green suit. This green suit is called a "chromakey suit". The green color helps the computer to know which parts of your body need to be removed from the picture later. Then, you stand in front of a big green screen which covers the whole wall behind you.

The computer works like a magic machine and removes the green color from the picture. This creates an empty space behind you. This is where the virtual studio comes in. There are many pre-made virtual rooms that look like a real studio set. The computer can integrate your green screen picture into these virtual rooms.

Finally, you can see yourself on a virtual screen looking like you are in a beautiful studio that you actually aren't! You can add different objects, like a desk or a chair, to make it look more realistic. You can also create an entire virtual world that you can explore and interact with.

Overall, a virtual studio is like a video game, but you use it to create movies or TV shows. It's an easy and fun way to make it look like you are somewhere else without ever leaving your house!
