Abstract:
1. A method for integrating a virtual rendering system and a motion control system to output a composite render to a display, the method comprising: obtaining, from the motion control system, a first camera configuration, wherein the first camera configuration includes camera position data, camera field of view orientation data, camera movement data and camera lens characteristics data; programming the virtual rendering system using the first camera configuration to correspondingly control a first virtual camera in a virtual environment; obtaining, from the virtual rendering system, a first virtually rendered feed of the virtual environment using the first virtual camera; capturing, from a video capture system, a first video capture feed of a real environment using the first camera configuration; rendering the composite render, based on a target broadcast region, by processing the first virtually rendered feed and the first video capture feed, wherein the composite render includes a real tracked object and at least one virtual player in the virtual environment; and outputting the composite render to the display.
