Hands-On with Aximmetry Instant: Virtual Production Simplified

Aximmetry's new beta app lets content creators set up virtual production in minutes with just an iPhone and zero Unreal Engine knowledge required.

Set Scanning Simplified: Aximmetry Instant dramatically reduces the technical barriers to professional-looking virtual sets

Aximmetry Instant, currently in beta with a planned September release, transforms how content creators approach virtual production. This standalone app (which will also be bundled with Aximmetry) works with the existing Aximmetry Eye iPhone app to deliver remarkably fast setup times.

The workflow is refreshingly straightforward:

  • Place QR codes on your green screen to define its dimensions

  • Scan the codes with the iPhone app

  • Select from preloaded virtual sets

  • The app automatically handles keying and placement

  • Final result appears within seconds

While still in beta, the tool creates clean keys that rival more complex solutions, making it especially valuable for YouTubers and solo content creators who lack technical expertise.

Democratizing Digital Environments: Aximmetry Instant tackles the most common obstacles that prevent wider virtual production adoption

Traditional virtual production setups typically require:

  • Extensive knowledge of node-based systems like Unreal Engine

  • Multiple operators to manage tracking and environment controls

  • Complicated keying and lighting setups

  • Significant time investment for even basic scenes

Aximmetry Instant eliminates these barriers with a streamlined interface that doesn't sacrifice quality. Users report the keying quality compares favorably with professional tools like Ultimatte.

Beyond the Basics: The broader Aximmetry ecosystem continues expanding professional capabilities

While Instant focuses on accessibility, Aximmetry's main software has also added significant new features:

  • Support for Gaussian splats, enabling photorealistic environments captured on phones

  • Enhanced keying algorithms that rival dedicated hardware solutions

  • Advanced lighting functions that apply virtual lighting conditions to subjects

  • Workflow tools that let users control cameras, lights, and graphics from one interface

Industry professionals praise Aximmetry's responsive support team, often providing solutions within 30 minutes—critical for productions facing technical challenges during live events.

Virtual Sets for All: Aximmetry Instant represents a significant step toward making virtual production accessible to independent creators

As virtual production tools continue evolving, the gap between high-end studio capabilities and independent creators narrows. Aximmetry's approach addresses both technical and workflow challenges, potentially expanding the user base beyond traditional film and broadcast environments.

The company is actively seeking user feedback during the beta phase, specifically on expanding camera options and streaming capabilities that would enable direct output to platforms like YouTube or broadcast channels.
