Voia

What Voia is
Voia is a virtual production system from Voia Inc. for filmmakers who need to preview virtual environments with live camera footage on set. Voia Box takes a camera’s SDI feed, combines it with real-time tracking and background masking, and sends the composite over SDI and wirelessly to the iPad app. Masking offers a studio mode for flat green, blue, or gray backgrounds, plus a person mode for separating people from varied backgrounds. The Voia Tracker app uses an iPhone camera, LiDAR, and motion sensors to provide real-time six-degree-of-freedom tracking.
The iPad app lets crews tour virtual environments, save camera positions, shoot with the iPad or a camera connected to Voia Box, and review and select takes. Voia also offers automated tracking and relighting, cloud rendering with Unreal Engine or Blender, and masks optimized for 4K video. Render exports include HEVC at HD 1080, ProRes at 4K, and EXR image sequences at 4K; tracking data can be exported as FBX and point clouds as OBJ. Exported layers can be used for composition or color correction in Nuke, Resolve, or After Effects. VFX houses can choose private-cloud or on-premises deployment. The September 2026 Box Cube Edition supports one camera and accepts video up to 4K/UHD/HD at 24, 25, or 30 FPS.
