Patent ID: 8885023

Claim:
A method for integrating a virtual rendering system and a motion control system to output a composite three-dimensional render to a three-dimensional display, the method comprising: obtaining, from the motion control system, a first three-dimensional camera configuration, wherein the first three-dimensional 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 three-dimensional camera configuration to correspondingly control a first virtual three-dimensional camera in a virtual environment; obtaining, from the virtual rendering system, a first virtually rendered three-dimensional feed of the virtual environment using the first virtual three-dimensional camera; capturing, from a video capture system, a first video capture three-dimensional feed of a real environment using the first three-dimensional camera configuration; rendering the composite three-dimensional render, based on a target broadcast region, by processing the first virtually rendered three-dimensional feed and the first video capture three-dimensional feed, wherein the composite three-dimensional render includes simulating at least one virtual player with a real tracked object; and outputting the composite three-dimensional render to the three-dimensional display.
