Green Screen is so 20th century

I use green screen for animations in my video editor Vegas, as have many movies in the past.  But Netflix' "The Volume" technology is a huge step up, letting the actors see the background video in real time.  Here is a short explanation of it for the series "1899" (some of the actors got seasick while watching the ocean):

If you have a Netflix account, here is a longer Making Of:

that's pretty cool

Yup.  And it looks very realistic.  I did not think I would like the show because of what I thought were supernatural elements.  But (possible spoiler here so stop if you need to) ...

 

There were no supernatural elements, just straight Scifi.  When a second huge ship just disappears, it's not magic.  It just gets turned off in the simulation by a knowledgeable rebel.
