Director Ira Rosensweig stated "it was very important to me that the actors could interact with each other in real time, so we built three identical sets next to each other on a stage. Equally important was their ability to see each other, as well as the need to establish fixed eyelines to each of the elements on their screen, without which the reality of the movie would have been destroyed. In order to achieve this, each set had a fixed camera integrated into a visual communication system that we created using Interrotrons (essentially, two-way teleprompters) connected to a live switching system. This allowed not only me, but each actor looking at their teleprompter to see a previsualization of the finished scene -- that included not only the live feed of the cameras in the other rooms, but also the computer interface as they typed and interacted with it."
