Leading UK studio and post facilities house dock10 has launched a full immersive virtual reality (VR) experience by capturing real life environments and enhancing them with audiovisual effects.



The new 360VR will be available for both short- and long-form work, with content able to be viewed on mobile devices, desktop browsers and VR headsets.

“With the anticipated enormous growth in consumers adopting 360VR headsets we felt that it was an important strategic move for us to develop experience in the production of 360VR content,” explained dock10 CEO Mark Senior. “Our existing infrastructure and skills made this a natural extension for our business and provides us with a compelling proposition ... This is not aimed solely at broadcast clients – we’re already seeing significant interest from both the corporate and creative sectors and are very excited to add this to the list of services dock10 has to offer.”

dock10 has already utilised its 360VR expertise on five different immersive shorts for the flagship BBC programme The Voice, also made at the company’s MediaCityUK based studios. These shorts employed dock10’s infrastructure, connectivity and post-production workflows to take the footage captured on multi-camera 4KTV rigs into its post-production facilities including its high-end dubbing and grade.
