Abstract: According to the disclosed embodiments, a three-dimensional (3D) reference environment having one or more environmental lighting reference (ELR) sources is determined by a controller. Also, characteristics of the one or more ELR sources are tracked by the controller. Then, a lighting environment generated by the one or more ELR sources in the 3D reference environment is replicated by the controller by dynamically and automatically controlling one or more physical light sources that illuminate a physical subject according to the characteristics of the one or more ELR sources.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to front and/or rear projection of a rendered three-dimensional (3D) environment image with real-time perspective correction for on-set camera movement for any projection surface contour. In one particular embodiment, a position of an on-site front or rear projection surface is determined by a device, and the device maps a position and angle of an on-site camera in relation to the on-site projection surface. By then correlating the camera mapping to a corresponding position and angle of a virtual camera within a mapped 3D reference environment, the techniques herein can render a projection image to project onto the on-site projection surface based on a 3D perspective of the virtual camera correlated within the 3D reference environment. In another embodiment, a shape of the on-site projection surface may be determined, such that rendering the projection image is also based on the shape.
