How mixed reality could transform game shows of the future

Game shows haven’t changed much in the last few decades. But The Future Group wants to combine television game shows with mixed reality technology.

The Oslo, Norway-based startup raised $20 million to create a game show, Lost in Time, where contestants are filmed performing game show challenges in front of a green screen. The Future Group then adds an animated world around the contestant, so to the viewer at home, the contestants appear to be completely immersed in a castle or an abandoned mine. On top of that, the audience can play the same challenges on a mobile app, where they can see how they would do in parallel to the contestants.
