virtual camera system
NaturalPoint just released their Insight Virtual Camera System.

It’s similar to the camera system James Cameron used in Avatar. The physical camera “films” within 3d space and creates a virtual camera shot in a 3d program. This is used in conjunction with motion capture footage applied to a 3d character.
But my question is, could someone use this for live action? Meaning, could I somehow film an actor and get the perfect performance then using the virtual camera, film all the different shots and angles of the scene? The end result not being a 3d character but live action footage.

There is something a *little* like this in development, I seem to recall ti was an MIT thing, but might be wrong ont hat fact. It is a camera that grabs a deep-focus shot at every distance, and you do the adjustment of depth of field and zoom all in post.
