Abstract

A video production system may include a video production environment and a modular floor including a plurality of tiles configured to move independently to induce or respond to a motion for a user or users in contact with the modular floor. The video production environment may include a camera, a stage, and a screen. The screen may provide a digital background. The system may include a processor configured to modify a configuration of the video production environment (e.g., the digital environment or the physical environment) based on a detected characteristic of the user(s) on the modular floor (e.g., an orientation, position, or movement of the user(s)). The system may include a sensor configured to detect the characteristic of the user(s) on the modular floor. Additional systems and associated methods are also disclosed.
