Camera Tracking

Camera and lens data streamed to the render engine so perspective belongs to the lens.

Camera Tracking

Tracking is what turns a bright wall into a window. The system measures where the camera is and what the lens is doing, and the render engine redraws the world from exactly that point of view, every frame.

Position and lens together

Position alone is not enough. Zoom, focus and distortion have to travel with it, otherwise the virtual perspective and the real optics disagree at the edges of frame.

Latency is a design value

The delay between physical motion and the updated image is budgeted across tracking, render, processing and panel. We measure it during commissioning and document it.

Multi-camera behaviour

Each tracked camera needs its own correctly rendered region. Frustum strategy, cut handling and render capacity are planned before camera count is promised.

Real-time camera tracking

Move the camera. Move the world.

Drag the camera and watch the LED volume. With tracking off the background stays where it is and the illusion collapses. With tracking on, the world is redrawn from the camera's exact point of view.

Position, rotation and lens data are streamed to the render engine every frame, so perspective, parallax and scale stay correct as the camera moves.
