Abstract: A virtual directors' camera includes a camera module, a processing module and a controller module. In an embodiment, the virtual directors' camera can include a display screen, handles for holding the device, and a controller for changing the settings of the camera. The display can show the action of the motion capture in a scene such as a virtual environment, and can also show the user interface of the software associated with camera operation and control. In a mode of operation, a director can hold onto the handles of the device and view the motion capture in a desired virtual environment, while also being able to control various aspects of the camera settings through a configuration of buttons on the controller of the device.
