Interesting, because lockdown happened like a week or 2 after they finished filming, they couldn't do any pick-ups. So they had actors with motion capture equipment do recordings, then using 3D scanned versions of the actors, apply a 3D model to the scene.

We've (well some of us anyways) known that CBS has had 3D scanned versions of the actors for a while, that's what STO uses to help make their game models of the DSC actors. I assume the scans were also used for promo art and toys.

That AR wall looks like a really smart investment, with their plans for so much concurrent Trek content. Forget realism, I want totally crazy alien environments!
 
Very cool, Mandalorian is a $20 million an episode show and Discovery is $9 million at best. So DSC will be getting some new tech to match the look of the backgrounds of the more expensive show. Luckily they can share the tech with the galaxy of Star Trek shows being produced in Canada.
