The VPST project brought virtual production technology to Lapland for northern partners. This project has been completed, and you can explore its results on this website. If you want to learn about ongoing virtual production projects in Lapland, please visit www.virtuaalituotantohanke.fi.
WHAT IT IS
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT INTO NORTHERN FINLAND
ERDF funded VPST project brought the first virtual production studio to northern Finland. The studio is built around LED-screen complex with cameras and motion capture technology. Virtual productions work as a way to unite the real world and the virtual world with virtual cameras, motion capture, game engine built environments and a high tech LED wall. The VPST project brought this technology to Lapland and closer to northern partners.
Project collaborators: Lapland UAS and University of Lapland.
Project is funded by EU.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
THE VPST PROJECT
The purpose of the VPST project was to build a virtual production studio based on LED screens for the joint use of the Lapland University of Applied Sciences and the University of Lapland. Furthermore a test environment was build for testing different environments. Virtual production and related technology were tested and piloted in various work packages during the project. Within the work packages, free workshops on the topics of virtual production were held for everyone interested.
Schedule:
1/08/2023-31/12/2025
Organizations:
Lapland University of Applied Sciences (head organizer) and University of Lapland.
Budget & Funding:
The total budget of the VPST project is 1 231 143€ and the budget for the investment project alongside it is 478 573€. The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

THE vpst studio
The studio was built during the autumn of 2024 into the facilities of the University of Lapland. It enables real time motion capture along with creating and manipulating sets and environments, from streamed live broadcasts and performances to film level productions. The studio wall consists of LED screens, which can be used to reproduce various backgrounds and video lighting for use in virtual productions. The total size of the studio wall will be 6 x 3 meters. The studio will also include camera systems and other equipment suitable for virtual production.
Along with the studio, a test environment was built in the premises of FrostBit laboratory of Lapland UAS, which will be used to test virtual environments and productions for studio use.
