You can see the giant touchscreen in the background of the above pic.

Doesn't look like BBC Parliament are screening one of the nation's programmes this time around, which is a shame.

Remember that the Giant screen in that pic might not be real - the top half of the picture is an overlay mask as I recall.

Seems that the VR stuff is being done at ITN again this year.

The screen with Nick Robinson is a fake (though ISTR there was a smaller plasma in roughly that position, showing a multiviewer feed of many OSes), but the big touchscreen towards the right is real.

Sally Magnusson and Brian Taylor are presenting through the night on BBC1 Scotland. Is this the norm? I thought Jackie Bird was usually involved in the overnights? Also, does anyone know what the News Channel will be showing?

Jackie presented overnight for the general election I think but she is doing an election breakfast special this time so that is maybe why.

Yep - there is also a distinct lack of cameras in that shot - so they've been masked out too I suppose.
