Good to see all the local reporters are getting credited with what region they come from...

In a word. No. Putting VR tech on every camera, having render engines to generate live tracked backgrounds and keyers for every camera, and ensuring you could get a clean clip on every shot (and ensured that nobody on camera was wearing a colour that wouldn't fight the key) would be pretty tricky. And expensive.
Effectively you'd need the Jeremy Vine system for every single camera. Including the radio steadicam (which would be an interesting challenge)
I believe that Studio D had FreeD targets installed for CBBC's Bamzooki - but don't know if the VR system is using FreeD for position sensing on Jeremy's stuff. (FreeD uses circular retroflective barcodes in the grid and CCTV cameras + LED ring lights mounted on top of cameras pointing up to see the barcodes)

Those fake newsroom backdrop LED's are really annoying, wouldn't making it blue or pink or something and keying it as a virtual set be easier and make it clearer?

Ah right!

No news updates so far.
[edit] Spoke too soon - Julian Worricker back in studio E at BH. Presumably he's also their DR facility (rather than Emily Maitlis in a pub)
