Instead of directly judging a flesh and blood singer, the team of judges presents a digital scene where an avatar acts. The virtual reality environment allows a team of 3D artists to create unique singers for each presentation, while adding lightning effects that would not be possible in a real setting. The result may be a little strange at first glance, but it also feels like a dream come true, as the singers are no longer held back by the physical limitations of the real world.
