Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology in which a virtual camera composes a plurality of views obtained from one or more physical and/or synthetic cameras into a single video stream, such as for sending to a remote telepresence client. The virtual camera may appear to applications as a single, real camera, yet provide video composed from multiple views and/or sources. Transforms may be applied at the virtual camera using hardware acceleration to generate the views, which are then composed into a rendered view and output to a video pipeline as if provided by a single video source.
