Abstract
A method of controlling a virtual camera within a three-dimensional volume associated with a scene. A virtual camera position within the three-dimensional volume is determined. Coverage, by a plurality of physical cameras, of at least a portion of the scene as viewed from a plurality of viewpoints associated with the virtual camera position, is determined. The virtual camera is controlled to generate a view of the scene, based on the determined coverage, in response to receiving a user command changing at least one viewpoint attribute of the virtual camera.
