Case Study: Texas Ballet Theater Preserves the Intimacy of Gazes with Groove Jones Immersive Capture

Texas Ballet Theater captures Gazes in 180º immersive video with Groove Jones

Texas Ballet Theater sought to capture the intimacy and spatial nuance of their contemporary ballet "Gazes," performed at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and share it beyond the single live event. Groove Jones collaborated with the choreographer to use the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera to film the performance, aiming to preserve its emotional depth and make it accessible to a wider audience.

Groove Jones filmed the performance in 180-degree stereoscopic video, leveraging the museum's natural light and the camera's high-resolution capture to create an immersive experience. The final video was processed for Apple Vision Pro and made accessible via web through Apple's new Spatial Browsing technology. The solution successfully preserved the ballet's physicality and emotional weight, allowing it to be experienced with a sense of immediacy long after the live performance ended.
