How INFiLED Supports Virtual Production Education in China

China’s film and television industry is accelerating, with virtual production (VP) quickly becoming a fast, cost-effective and super-flexible part of the creative process. But while the tech is surging forward, skilled talent is in critically short supply.  

Educators are under pressure to equip their students with the right tools, skills and experience to get the best out of XR/VP evolution, and to do it in a real-world, industry-aligned environment.

The Challenge: Big on Tech, Short on Skills

Bridging the gap between traditional education and this new digital production landscape requires more than just the right kit. Universities needs a comprehensive approach that includes:

• The right tech: industry-grade production quality, and fully-integrated VP environments.
• Customized curricula, course materials and content libraries.
• Cross-disciplinary awareness and readiness.

And all of this has to work in the real world of teaching — where systems must be reliable, flexible, and easy to maintain.

The Solution: What We’re Providing

We’re working with pioneers like Beijing YUAN Mate, Chuangyi Technology Culture and Canon (China) to deliver XR system solutions specifically for education. Together, we’re building AI+XR+IP-based full-chain practical training platforms – not just the kit, but developing workshops, course materials, and content libraries, too.

Our goal is to enable universities to build the next generation of versatile, digital-native talents who meet the evolving demands of the industry.

Recently, we were proud to take part in the 8th Audiovisual Practice Teaching Innovation Seminar, held at Xingguang Island, Qingdao. We joined over 300 experts and representatives from universities, industry organizations, and enterprises across China to discuss the future of audiovisual education in the era of artificial intelligence.

We were honored to be invited to share the latest VP technological advancements and applications.

How It Works

We’ve partnered with five leading universities to design and install custom XR/VP studios on campus.

Each studio was tailored to the university’s needs, but all shared a common goal: to create immersive, hands-on learning environments that prepare students for the future of filmmaking, animation, and digital design.

1. Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University, Zhejiang

• Installed: September 2024

The Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University is renowned for driving scientific research, student development and commercialization of tech across the Yangtze river delta and beyond. We were proud to have worked with the institution already, to update their seminar rooms.  

For this project, we outfitted a LED wall from our GXmk2 Series at 2.6mm pixel pitch and an LED digital floor from our DFmk2 Series with 3.9 pixel pitch to deliver broadcast-level quality, thanks to SolidSkin Tech and a 7680Hz refresh rate, which suppress moiré and eliminate camera scanline issues, even under 25Hz and 50Hz shooting conditions. 

It was dual-purpose, too – designed for full-scale virtual production as well as cross-disciplinary research.

2. Haikou University of Economics, Nanhai Academy of the Arts and Technology

• Installed: October 2024

The Nanhai Academy of the Arts and Technology is a specialized institution within Haikou University of Economics. To link classroom learning to real-world virtual production techniques, we built a compact setup using a GXmk2 Series LED wall(2.5mm pixel pitch), paired with LED floor panels.

The low reflectivity and high consistency of SolidSkin Technology ensured that the displays stay perfect for on-camera performance. We simplified maintenance by designing a modular, interchangeable setup between the wall and floor, which was robustly built to support up to 2.5 tons per square meter –  strong enough to support performance-heavy scenes.

3. Beijing City University, School of Performing Arts

Installed: January 2025

The School of Performing Arts is a dynamic institution with a strong emphasis on international collaboration and cultural exchange.

We were delighted to help support its students by installing a cinematic-quality studio using the DBmk2 Series video wall(2.6 pixel pitch), paired with a robust DFmk2 Series LED digital floor(3.9mm pixel pitch) built for load-bearing – perfect for full-scale acting and prop work. 

We chose the DBmk2 Series as it comes with a 15,360Hz ultra-high refresh rate, which eliminates flicker and scanlines, even during complex multi-camera shoots.

4. Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications

Installed: March 2025

Renowned for ICT specialization, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications was looking for a cross-disciplinary resource to support comprehensive digital media education for its students, specifically in industry-grade production workflows.

To bring the vision to life, we installed a studio that featured a modular LED wall from GX Series and floor combo, enhanced with SolidSkin Technology, 1/16 scan driving, and a 7680Hz refresh rate for super-smooth visuals and optimal camera performance.

We built the setup with modular panels for the ultimate in operational flexibility.

5. A leading University in East China

Installed: March 2025

This leading university was looking to enhance its film and animation training capabilities in order to help students build industry-standard tech skills within immersive virtual environments.

To achieve this, we created a unique curved stage, featuring a large GXmk2 Series LED wall (6m x 3m, 2.5mm pixel pitch) to enhance depth for immersive virtual cinematography. Its SolidSkin tech ensures strong moiré suppression and low reflectivity, even under complex lighting and filming.

The Impact: beyond the tech

We’re very proud to have helped bring the latest industry practices into academia, and it’s not just about the tech. The principle of industry-academic collaboration is very important to us, and we’ve demonstrated this by:

• Collaborating with academics to develop comprehensive curricula, including practical teaching modules and extensive content libraries.​
• Developing specialized professional courses covering a range of specializations, including LED volume construction, real-time rendering applications, cinematography and lighting, compact TVC production, and live broadcast operations.​
• Leveraging our global project expertise (e.g. 76 virtual production studios worldwide, including 11 major commercial XR/VP studios in China) to make sure that students benefit from real-world, industrial-grade training.
• Broadening the use of immersive tech into other academic fields.

The result? Students are graduating with real-world, studio-ready experience,  and universities are helping close the talent gap in one of China’s most fast-growing industries.

Looking Ahead

These collaborations are just the beginning. We’re committed to working with universities across the globe to reimagine how their students can be trained. Want to find out more? Let’s talk.
