1. A method for integrating a virtual rendering system and a motion control system to output a composite three-dimensional render to a three-dimensional display, the method comprising:

  • obtaining, from the motion control system, a first three-dimensional camera configuration, wherein the first three-dimensional camera configuration includes camera position data, camera field of view orientation data, camera movement data and camera lens characteristics data;

    programming the virtual rendering system using the first three-dimensional camera configuration to correspondingly control a first virtual three-dimensional camera in a virtual environment, wherein the virtual environment includes virtual objects without corresponding real objects in a real environment;

    obtaining, from the virtual rendering system, a first virtually rendered three-dimensional feed of the virtual environment and the virtual objects using the first virtual three-dimensional camera;

    capturing, from a video capture system, a first video capture three-dimensional feed of the real environment using the first three-dimensional camera configuration;

    rendering the composite three-dimensional render by processing the first virtually rendered three-dimensional feed and the first video capture three-dimensional feed; and

    outputting the composite three-dimensional render to the three-dimensional display;

    wherein outputting the composite three-dimensional render includes simulating a virtual person in one or more scenarios in the real environment having real elements for strategy analysis, and providing a camera fly-by view for each of the one or more scenarios, wherein the virtual person corresponds to a real person in the real environment.
