Aximmetry's new beta app lets content creators set up virtual production in minutes with just an iPhone and zero Unreal Engine knowledge required.
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.
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.
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 minutesâcritical for productions facing technical challenges during live events.
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.
