MERL Report:  TR2007-110

We will demonstrate new methods of flexible scene capture (including motion, orientation, and incident illumination), to create a dynamic 'virtual recording set.' We use tracking tags that are imperceptible under attire; inserted Computer Graphics elements can match the lighting on the presenter, making the technique ideal for real-time broadcast.
