Record & stream your show in a realistic virtual studio
LightTwist lets you record & stream in a realistic virtual studio, even if your guests and co-hosts are remote. LightTwist is a virtual video studio that runs in Chrome, with a backend virtual production platform utilizing realtime computer vision for background removal and compositing, Unreal Engine 5 for rendering, and WebRTC for A/V streaming. It runs in realtime so you can live stream or record "live to tape", with a live preview so you see exactly what's getting streamed or recorded.
I started LightTwist in 2021 after seeing how Industrial Light and Magic built a huge 360 surround stage for the Mandalorian where they had a tracked camera and rendered the scene in realtime using Unreal Engine. I’ve started a few computer vision companies (RedLaser, barcode scanning price comparison app - acquired by eBay, Twindo.com - FKA Occipital), so I thought there had to be a way to make virtual production much more accessible using computer vision and software engineering. We’ve gone through several iterations, started as an iOS app for filmmakers, built a macOS app to be an awesome virtual camera for Zoom/etc, but have gotten a lot more traction once we positioned LightTwist as a virtual video studio and rebuilt it to run in the cloud. We’ve signed an enterprise customer using LightTwist to power their video streaming platform (not yet announced!), and we’ve been iterating with other creators and studios including building a gameshow for Jimmy Fallon’s video production company. We’re excited to be rolling this out publicly next week!
