Case Study: Verizon achieves real-time 5G virtual production for League of Legends with Groove Jones

Verizon transforms League of Legends superfans into Jinx in real time with Groove Jones

Verizon worked with Groove Jones to create an innovative, real-time virtual production activation for Riot Games' League of Legends. The challenge was to transform fans into a character from the Netflix Arcane series live, requiring a solution that could handle complex real-time rendering without the lag of traditional methods.

Groove Jones devised a solution using computer vision for markerless movement tracking and leveraged Verizon's 5G MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) to offload the intensive rendering to the cloud. This use of 5G technology ensured ultra-low latency and high efficiency. The result was a successful, high-quality virtual production that set a new standard for real-time content creation and provided engaging influencer marketing videos.
