Your virtual studio – without a green screen

The studio monitor next to the anchor, showing graphics, videos or the remote guest – the most expensive piece of furniture in any news studio. Yours stands in your room in seconds: as a virtual AR monitor, with no TV, no stand, no green screen.

The classic paths to a studio look are demanding: a real large display (expensive, heavy, reflective) or a green screen (lighting, space, edge artifacts). LiveShow Creator’s virtual monitor takes the third path – it exists only in the picture: place it once with a tap, choose its size, and it stays exactly there, even when the camera moves.

The trick that makes it feel real: walk in front of the monitor and it correctly disappears behind you – like a physical screen. This realistic occlusion is what separates the effect from cheap picture-in-picture overlays and turns the corner of your room into a studio.

How your studio comes together

  1. 01

    Place the monitor in the room

    Tap once where it should stand – next to you, behind you, floating. Size freely adjustable, from tablet format to video wall.

  2. 02

    It stays where it is

    When the camera moves, the monitor stays anchored to its position in the room – as if it were really standing there.

  3. 03

    Content from the rundown

    Photos, photo sequences, videos and graphics live as cues in the show rundown and appear on the monitor with a tap – at the planned moment.

  4. 04

    A live guest on the monitor

    The feed of a guest joining via the free Reporter app appears live on the virtual monitor – the interview setup of TV studios, built with two iPhones.

  5. 05

    Realistic occlusion

    People correctly occlude the monitor when they stand or walk in front of it – the effect that makes the difference between an overlay and a studio.

FAQ

Do I really not need a green screen?
No. The monitor is placed into your real camera image via augmented reality – your room stays your room, there are no keying edges and no special lighting. That’s exactly what makes it a green screen alternative.
Does the monitor stay stable when the camera shakes?
Yes. It’s anchored in the room, not in the frame – when the camera moves, it stays in position like a physical object.
What can be shown on the monitor?
Photos, photo sequences, videos and graphics from your show rundown – and, live, the feed of a guest joining from anywhere via the Reporter app.
Do people really occlude the monitor?
Yes – when someone walks or stands in front of it, the monitor correctly disappears behind them. That occlusion is why the effect reads as a real screen.
Which iPhone do I need?
We recommend iPhone 12 or newer as the main device – the more recent, the smoother AR tracking and occlusion run. The monitor is part of PRO mode (€29.99/month).
