– WWE’s website has an article at this link about how virtual reality and a virtual set is being used to make the state-of-the-art RAW Pre-show happen. WWE’s Director of Engineering Dan Keene commented on the technology:
“Virtual technology has really advanced to the point that when you are watching TV, you’re not sure if you’re watching a virtual set or a real set. It’s been on our radar for about five years, and it has gotten better and better. It was just time to bring it to WWE. The difference between this technology and traditional green screen technology is that these cameras are aware of where they are on a virtual set. A traditional green screen, like a weather map, is going to show the same flat image regardless of whether the camera shoots a close-up or a wide shot. These cameras are aware of size and proportions, and will size what you see accordingly. The magic is that when the cameras move up, down or roll across the tracks, the virtual set moves and rotates on camera.”
– WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins tweeted the following to hype tonight’s RAW, taunting Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar:
Eat. Sleep. Rollins. Repeat. This is my world now. #RawChicago
