This is all done live, usually with two computers so if one fails the
other acts as a backup. This redundancy also allows mixing of more than
one source. If one of the computers fails, the system will only allow
takes.
The computers generate the set. Still kind of artificial looking. Europe
uses this stuff more than the U.S..

If anyone can receuve WCBS-TV, Channel 2, they use it on their local
newscasts.

   I'm not certain on the technology - although I suspect a kind
of greenscreen with post-produced component chromakey - but
NBC also created 3 dimensional virtual reality sets a few
years back for their short-lived news magazine, "Yesterday
Today and Tomorrow".
   I don't know anything about network use of the "War Games"
command-center set. The only anecdotal "set-use" story that
comes to mind was the use of a Grass Valley 300 video
switcher as a control panel in "Star Wars". (Of the "Millennium
Falcon", perhaps?)
