Summary
LightTwist is a virtual video studio that runs in Chrome, using Unreal Engine 5 and realtime computer vision to let users record and live stream shows in realistic virtual studios. Founded in 2021 by a serial computer vision entrepreneur (who previously started RedLaser, acquired by eBay), the platform enables remote guests and co-hosts to appear together in a shared virtual environment with real-time background removal, compositing, and rendering. It supports live streaming or "live to tape" recording with a live preview.
