Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can incorporate one or more real-world performers that are performing within a venue into interactive content. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can identify one or more joints or ligaments, for example, left shoulders, right knees, among others, of the one or more real-world performers from the image, or the series of images, of the one or more real-world performers. These joints or ligaments can be represented as one or more performer markers. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can generate one or more three-dimensional models of the one or more real-world performers in a three-dimensional space from the one or more performer markers. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can apply the one or more three-dimensional models of the one or more real-world performers to the one or more virtual characters in the three-dimensional space. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can render the one or more virtual characters from the three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional space of the interactive content to integrate the one or more real-world performers into the interactive content.
