This video tutorial will guide you through an easy method to add exciting effects to your escape room or immersive theatre production, by using monitors to display themed dynamic or pre-rendered video content.
I use Unity3D to create the video content, which you can download for free from unity.com You can also download all the assets for the various scenes I showed (lunar surface, ocean waves, clouds, weather conditions etc.) from the Unity Asset Store. Or you can create videos using any other video content authoring software, or just use stock video footage.
To display the videos, I'm using the following HD Media Player: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oEqaVcz , as well as a Sprite Media player (and just a USB stick).
Timings:
00:00:00 - 00:00:43 Introduction and Demonstration
00:00:44 - 00:05:46 Usage Tips
00:05:47 - 00:07:31 Construction and Theming
00:07:32 - 00:10:30 Video Players
00:10:31 - 00:12:10 Rendering a Video Scene in Unity
00:12:11 - 00:18:00 Using Multiple Displays
00:18:01 - 00:21:06 Rendering Realtime Output
