Abstract

A device for positional synchronization of virtual and physical cameras may include a processor configured to determine a first position of a physical camera relative to another electronic device in a physical environment. The processor may be configured to initiate positioning of a virtual camera in a second position within a computer-generated environment, wherein the second position relative to a representation of the person in the computer-generated environment coincides with the first position. The processor may be configured to receive an image frame captured by the physical camera and a virtual image frame generated by the virtual camera. The processor may be configured to generate a computer-generated reality image frame that includes at least a portion of the image frame composited with at least a portion of the virtual image frame.
