Sorry to bump this up by a lot but got a little buzz from the main current ITV News thread.

Leafing through TV Live like a magazine (as one does from time to time). I'm looking through the 2009-2013 era. Is it me or does the field of depth just play tricks on one's mind. The virtual architecture is just crazy.

I think back in the day ITN/ITV thought it was just a case of "because we can, we will", except of course it looked really bad, especially as those unnecessary yellow (actually green) squares on the desk would fizzle out at certain angles.

The only nice part was the dynamic intro, which included headline item pictures, the dramatic music which all 'opened' into the virtual set.

The basic 'architecture' of the VR environment didn't resemble anything other than a car park, and the background perspectives changed so often that a viewer could easily feel dizzy. It was a nice try at something different, but I prefer what they've got now.
