The solution

Multi-platinum recording artist Sebastián Yatra performed a show-stopping virtual concert powered by Evercoast volumetric capture technology, Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network, and mobile edge computing.

The highlight of the production was seeing Yatra sing a duet with a digital hologram of himself. The creative possibilities of using real-time technologies enabled him to perform both parts of the duet, with both the real and digital artists interacting naturally as if they were on stage together.

Specialized cameras captured Yatra on the XR Stage at Verizon’s 5G Lab in Los Angeles. LED screens displayed five stunning virtual environments that shifted to match the camera's perspective. This effect makes the physical stage walls seemingly disappear (similar to effects used in shows like the Mandalorian). 

A volumetric capture and playback of Sebastian’s hologram were then placed into those environments, allowing the artist to perform side-by-side with himself for an iconic rendition of his hit song, Tacones Rojos—all powered by Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network and mobile edge compute platform.

It all came together to create an immersive XR stage as a backdrop to Sebastián’s live show with an abstract scene for each track. Once the creative direction was signed off for each concept, we crafted each world from scratch—a process involving intricate scene building, animation, lighting, and visual effects timed to the music.

We built five different worlds. Each setting was inspired by Sebastián’s music videos and iconic live performances. The scene below, for instance, created for Tacones Rojos, took inspiration from elements like sunlight and city feel. The immersive golden city has a feeling of movement, bringing fans into the space and surrounding them with abstract structures and neon signs.
