System and method for synchronizing a real-time performance with a virtual object
First Claim
1. A system for recording a performance by a real-time performer interacting with a virtual object, the system comprising:
- a projection module including a polarizing filter, the projection module configured to generate a polarized visible image corresponding to the virtual object;
a surface for displaying the polarized visible image, the surface viewable by the real-time performer;
a recording module including a reverse-polarizing filter, the reverse-polarizing filter configured to reverse-polarize images of the performance by the real-time performer and the surface displaying the polarized visible image to produce reverse-polarized images; and
wherein the recording module is configured to record the reverse-polarized images.

Abstract
There is presented a system for recording a performance by a real-time performer interacting with a virtual object. The disclosed system comprises a projection module including a polarizing filter, the projection module configured to generate a polarized visible image corresponding to the virtual object. The system includes a surface for displaying the polarized visible image, the surface viewable by the real-time performer. The system also includes a recording module including a reverse-polarizing filter, the reverse-polarizing filter configured to reverse-polarize images of the performance by the real-time performer and the surface displaying the polarized visible image to produce reverse-polarized images. The recording module is configured to record the reverse-polarized images. In one embodiment, the system further comprises a rendering module configured to render the virtual object into the recorded performance.
