Instantly align UE sets and real studios using Aruco Markers!

To do a virtual production shoot you need to align your virtual set and real studio so things on both of them will line up properly.

You just put an aruco tag in your studio, put a matching one in the virtual set, two clicks and everything lines up instantly! A real time saver and it works with any tracking system.
