PROJECTS:
ORIGAMI
The use of computer graphics (CG) in TV and film productions
is increasingly popular today. It allows the creation of special effects
in feature movies,
visualisation of facts in scientific programmes and many other applications.
The production costs of programmes that involve CG are still relatively
high. In particular, they quite often bear high risks in the case of
something going wrong in the production chain. A typical example would
be a computer
generated character that can not be integrated into real film footage,
because the camera angle or the positions of (real) actors were wrong
in the real camera images.
The Fifth Framework ORIGAMI
project (IST-2000-2843, 2001-2004)
has developed new 3D modelling
and production techniques for TV and film production. BBC R&D has
developed a studio system with the following features:
 |
3D multi-camera capture of actions in
the studio. |
|
A director’s tool for real-time visualisation
of real and virtual scene. |
|
An actor feedback module. |
|
Collision detection between actor and virtual
world. |
