Brainstorm has coordinated the European Project AdMiRe "Advanced Mixed Realities" funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Programme. This R&D project is focused on the development and validation of Mixed Reality solutions to allow audiences to participate in TV shows as if they were physically there.

The project has been successfully completed and AdMiRe has been properly validated by the three participating broadcasters: NRK (Norway), TVR (Romania) and Premier Media (Ireland). With a simple App installed on a cell phone, tablet or laptop, the audience is captured perfectly. Their stream is sent to AdMiRe's servers where the silhouette of the captured person is extracted and inserted into the virtual or real set scene with the program presenters or participants. This insertion is made using Brainstorm's graphic solution InfinitySet and background extraction and super resolution modules developed by EPFL University (Switzerland).
