Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method of configuring a path of a virtual camera. The method comprises receiving user steering information to control the path of the virtual camera in a scene; determining a primary target based upon a field of view of the virtual camera; and estimating a future path and a corresponding future field of view of the virtual camera, based on the received steering information. The method further comprises determining a secondary target of the scene proximate to the estimated future path of the virtual camera based on a preferred perspective of the secondary target; and configuring the path to capture the secondary target from the preferred perspective.
