ImmersedLIVE is debuting a 53’ HybridVR truck at NAB 2017. The truck is a single OB unit with dual production bays designed to produce shows in 4K and 360° simultaneously, delivering significant cost and production efficiencies for live events. The truck will be in Las Vegas during NAB 2017 on April 25-26.

“Each of the individuals that came together to form ImmersedLIVE are among the pioneers of the rapidly emerging 360° video production space. We have included the top experts in camera technology from Radiant Images; leaders in immersive audio from Subtractive; the best in crew and broadcast integration from Big Vision Productions; innovation in 4K streaming and truck design from FlightLine Films; high-end technology and production integration from Skyrae; and my team from SuperSphere who have produced VR shows for Discovery, Sony, Disney, and Fox, to name a few,” said Lucas Wilson, founder of SuperSphere and ImmersedLIVE.
