A method of generating unrecorded camera views may include receiving a plurality of 2-D video sequences of a subject in a real 3-D space, where each 2-D video sequence may depict the subject from a different perspective. The method may also include generating a 3-D representation of the subject in a virtual 3-D space, where a geometry and texture of the 3-D representation may be generated based on the 2D video sequences, and the motion of the 3-D representation in the virtual 3-D space is based on motion of the subject in the real 3-D space. The method may additionally include generating a 2-D video sequence of the motion of the 3D representation using a virtual camera in the virtual 3-D space where the perspective of the virtual camera may be different than the perspectives of the plurality of 2-D video sequences.

Motion-controlled body capture and reconstruction

A method may include presenting a scene from linear content on one or more display devices in an immersive environment, and receiving, from a user within the immersive environment, input to change an aspect of the scene. The method may also include accessing 3-D virtual scene information previously used to render the scene, and changing the 3-D virtual scene information according to the changed aspect of the scene. The method may additionally include rending the 3-D virtual scene to incorporate the changed aspect, and presenting the rendered scene in real time in the immersive user environment.

Real-time content immersion system

A method may include displaying, on one or more display devices in a virtual-reality environment, a visual representation of a 3-D virtual scene from the perspective of a subject location in the virtual-reality environment. The method may also include displaying, on the one or more display devices, a chroma-key background with the visual representation. The method may further include recording, using a camera, an image of the subject in the virtual-reality environment against the chroma-key background.
