The Crossroads Church XR stage at Crossroads Church – Oakley in Cincinnati, Ohio, ranks among the most advanced immersive worship environments in the world. It brings together large-scale LED, XR broadcast workflows, and real-time rendering into one flexible production setup. In a recently published case study, Disguise shows how several technology partners work together to support both live audiences and global broadcasts.
GhostFrame-powered LED for live and broadcast experiences
At the center of the Crossroads Church XR stage stands the world’s largest GhostFrame-powered LED installation. This setup delivers different visuals at the same time to the in-room audience and to broadcast cameras. As a result, the creative team designs worship experiences that feel natural on site while remaining fully optimized for XR, streaming, and broadcast output.
From the start, the goal remained clear. Crossroads Church wanted a future-proof environment that supports live worship, cinematic broadcast, and creative storytelling without compromise. To make this possible, the team required precise spatial alignment between cameras, LED content, and virtual elements across a very large venue.
That precision is where stYpe came in.
Reliable camera tracking across the entire venue
Accurate camera tracking plays a critical role in making the Crossroads Church XR stage work in real-world conditions. The system includes three stYpe RedSpy camera tracking units, integrated into a wider workflow built around Disguise and Unreal Engine.
According to the case study, stable tracking proved essential for maintaining believable XR graphics across a large LED surface and multiple camera positions. Because RedSpy delivers precise camera position and lens data, XR elements stay locked in place during complex camera moves and throughout weekly productions.
In addition, Disguise highlights that reliable tracking helps the team maintain visual consistency while keeping the workflow efficient for regular use. Whether the stage supports a Sunday service or a broadcast-focused production, the tracking remains consistent and dependable.
Flexibility for evolving creative ideas
The Crossroads Church XR stage was designed to support a wide range of scenarios. These include live worship services, broadcast-focused productions, and evolving creative concepts. Cameras need to operate reliably from different positions across the hall without limiting creative direction or adding unnecessary complexity.
This requirement made RedSpy and stYpe a logical choice. Consistent tracking performance gives the production team the freedom to experiment creatively while maintaining confidence and stability in a high-pressure, recurring production environment.
Built for weekly use, not one-off showcases
Beyond its scale, the Crossroads Church XR stage stands out for its practicality. The technology stack was designed for consistent, week-to-week operation rather than a one-time showcase. A relatively small crew can run a complex XR and LED setup with confidence as part of a regular production schedule.
The Crossroads Church project shows how broadcast-grade XR, LED, and camera tracking technologies are increasingly used beyond traditional studios. It also highlights the role precise tracking solutions like RedSpy play in making ambitious XR stages reliable in everyday production.
