Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology in Canada has become the
first institution to bring ORAD video technology into the classroom.
Originally designed for the Israeli military's virtual reality training,
ORAD places real-time people into a virtual set. The ORAD system removes
the bluescreen behind a person and replaces it with a computer-generated
environment. Located at the Seneca York campus, students in the television
broadcasting, 3D arts and advertising programs will have the opportunity to
participate in hands-on training in virtual set technology. With digital
editing systems Discreet Logic Edit, Pro-Tools Digital Audio and a new
fiber optic video network to pass uncompressed video throughout the campus,
Seneca offers students one of the most up-to-date production facilities in
Toronto. The ORAD system is currently used by newscasters in Canada and the
States. Derek Elliott, professor, Digital Media Arts said, "ORAD has the
capabilities and industry presence we want our students trained with to be
job-ready graduates."
