Overview

Vū Technologies operates a large network of virtual studios across North America that provide virtual production and filmmaking services. It combines real-time computer-generated imagery, motion capture, virtual reality, and live-action filming to create immersive experiences and visual effects. The company serves clients including Amazon, CBS Sports and Disney and maintains an expanding set of Vū-operated and affiliate studios alongside evolving software tools. Vū offers a proprietary generative AI workflow tool, Vū.ai, which augments pre-built virtual environments and designs workflows from image and text prompting. The firm highlights technologies such as digital twin environment simulation, volumetric video capture, and motion-control robotics to enable faster content creation, lower production costs, and reduced environmental impact. Accenture has invested in Vū and will collaborate to bring virtual production and large-format simulation capabilities to Accenture’s clients. Vū Technologies builds and operates a network of virtual production studio campuses that let filmmakers shoot photo-realistic virtual environments in-studio, saving the time and cost of location shoots. The company offers multiple patented studio formats — Vū Max, Vū Pro, Vū Essential, Vū Dome, and scalable Vū Walls — featuring large circular sound stages and HD LED panels on walls and ceilings. Studios are typically rented by the day, week, or month to film, TV, advertising, and corporate video producers. Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Vū already operates studios in Tampa, Nashville, and Las Vegas and plans to accelerate expansion of that network. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Tim Moore, who holds patents on several core technologies, and co-founder and President Jon Davila. The recent $17M seed funding will support expansion of the company’s virtual studio network.
