1. A LED panel utilized to construct a LED volume for filming simulated virtual environments wherein the LED panel comprises:
a housing, said housing having a frame, said frame defining a perimeter edge for said housing;
a display screen, said display screen having a front surface and a rear surface, said display screen being mounted within said housing, said display screen operable to display virtual images;
at least one retroreflector, said at least one retroreflector being mounted proximate said rear surface of said display screen, said at least one retroreflector configured to reflect light back to a source so as to provide positional identification of the source;
wherein the LED panel is operable to provide a first technique and a second technique of object tracking within the LED volume;
at least one lidar sensor, said at least one lidar sensor being secured to said frame, said at least one lidar sensor operable to provide tracking of at least one object utilizing the first technique; and
wherein the first technique employs an outside-in tracking methodology wherein the lidar sensors are employed to track an object disposed within the LED volume.
