Figment Studio Unveils Southeast Asia’s Most Advanced Virtual Production Stage with ROE Visual
Mumbai – In a groundbreaking collaboration, Supreme Studio, The Studio Park, and StageFor have unveiled Southeast Asia’s most advanced virtual production studio, powered by ROE Visual LED panels. This high-caliber facility, with an investment of 200 million baht (approx. $6 million), is set to attract both local and international film and advertising productions, aiming to rank among the top five production studios in Asia. Operating under the slogan “Your Imagination is our Stage,” Figment Studio embodies the seamless fusion of expertise and innovation.
Figment Studio is the result of a partnership between industry leaders, each contributing unique strengths. The Studio Park, known for housing Thailand’s largest sound stage across its sprawling 216-rai site in Samut Prakan, has long been favored by Hollywood productions. StageFor Co., Ltd. contributes its expertise in XR and virtual production, while Supreme Studio Co., Ltd, pioneered the introduction of cutting-edge virtual production technology in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
The main stage at Figment Studios spans an impressive 28m by 5m, using ROE Diamond DM2.6 panels, and a 6m by 3m ceiling equipped with ROE Carbon CB3.75 panels, delivering an unparalleled immersive visual experience. The facility also integrates world-class technology such as Brompton Technology’s Tessera LED processing, enabling seamless 2D and 3D workflows that utilize advanced systems like Unreal Engine, Stype, Redspy tracking, and OptiTrack motion capture.
Ms. Nattha Neleptchenko, CEO of Supreme Studio Co. Ltd., proudly highlighted the company’s role in introducing this technology to Southeast Asia. Supreme Studio’s cutting-edge studio has already made a significant impact, being featured in high-profile commercial shoots and major films, such as The Greatest Beer Run and Thai Cave Rescue. “With the combined strengths of the three companies involved in this partnership, we are confident that Figment Studio will be ranked as the top virtual production facility in Thailand and will soon become one of the top five in Asia,” Ms. Nattha emphasised.
This significant investment in Figment Studio not only strengthens Thailand’s film industry but also positions the country as a leading hub for virtual production. Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sports, Mr. Sorawong Thienthong, hailed the launch of Figment Studio as a pivotal moment for the nation’s film industry. He highlighted that the introduction of advanced virtual production technology, which represents the future of global filmmaking, will enable Thailand to emerge as a key international destination for film production. The government is thrilled to support this development, as it not only enhances the country’s film sector but also drives economic growth and boosts tourism.
With several major projects, including productions for Netflix and FX Networks, already completed this year, Figment Studio is poised to push the boundaries of virtual production in Thailand. “ROE Visual is honored to be part of this exciting collaboration, supporting Figment Studio in its goal to become a leading destination for local and international productions. We believe this partnership will inspire filmmakers and content creators to explore new horizons in visual storytelling, further solidifying Thailand’s role as a global hub for cutting-edge film and production technology.” says Grace Kuo, Sales Director at ROE Visual.

With 57 per cent single new users, Ashley Madison rebrands as discreet dating platform
Platform says majority of new members now identify as single
INDIA: Ashley Madison is shedding the “married-dating” label that defined it for two decades, repositioning itself as a platform for discreet dating in what it calls the post-social media age.
The rebrand, unveiled in India on 27 February, 2026, marks a structural shift in business model and identity. Once synonymous with married dating, the company now describes itself as the “premier destination for discreet dating” under a new tagline: Where Desire Meets Discretion.
The pivot is data-driven. Internal figures show that 57 per cent of global sign-ups between 1 January and 31 December, 2025 identified as single: a notable departure from the platform’s married core. The company argues that its community has already evolved beyond its original positioning.
“In an age where our lives have been constantly put on public display, privacy has become the new luxury,” said Ashley Madison chief strategy officer Paul Keable. He framed the platform’s offering as “ethical discretion” for singles, separated, divorced and non-monogamous users seeking private connections.
The shift also taps into wider digital fatigue. A global survey conducted by YouGov for Ashley Madison, covering 13,071 adults across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US, found mounting discomfort with hyper-public online lives.
Among dating app users, 30 per cent cited constant swiping and messaging as a source of fatigue, while 24 per cent pointed to pressure to curate public-facing profiles and early personal disclosure. Some 27 per cent said fears of screenshots or information being shared contributed to exhaustion; an equal share cited unwanted attention.
The retreat from oversharing appears broader. According to the survey, 46 per cent of adults actively try to keep most aspects of their life private online. Only 8 per cent feel comfortable sharing most aspects publicly, while 35 per cent say they are becoming more selective about what they disclose.
Ashley Madison is betting that this cultural recalibration towards controlled visibility can be monetised. By doubling down on privacy infrastructure and reframing itself around discretion rather than infidelity, the company is attempting to convert reputational baggage into a premium proposition.
