What Voia is
Voia is a virtual production system for filmmakers that combines live camera footage with virtual environments for on-set previews. Voia Box blends a camera’s SDI feed with real-time tracking, background masking, and compositing, then sends the result over SDI and wirelessly to the iPad app. Studio masking supports flat green, blue, or gray backgrounds, while person mode isolates people against varied backgrounds. The Voia Tracker app uses an iPhone camera, LiDAR, and motion sensors for six-degree-of-freedom tracking. On iPad, crews can tour virtual environments, save camera positions, shoot with the iPad or a connected camera, and review takes. Voia offers automated tracking and relighting plus cloud rendering with Unreal Engine or Blender. Exports include HEVC, ProRes, and EXR; tracking data can be exported as FBX and point clouds as OBJ. Private-cloud and on-premises deployment options are available for VFX houses.
