This paper explores the use of Mixed Reality in live television shows by allowing remote participants to “teleport” into a virtual studio. The solution utilizes background extraction (BE) and super-resolution (SR) modules to extract remote participants from their videos and composite them seamlessly into the studio footage, allowing for participation in live TV programs using standard mobile devices or webcams. This paper aims to investigate the impact of capturing devices and background settings on the output videos from the end user’s point of view. The results of the study are presented and discussed with a focus on the effectiveness of the BE and SR components in response to variations in capturing devices and background settings.
