interactive 3d camera project for maya

Kai-sen has a nifty little demo using Autodesk Maya and a bit of low cost hardware to simulate a hand held camera in Maya. By waving around the laptop he is able to change the maya camera as a type of augmented reality window into the maya scene. pretty cool!

“The “Interactive 3D Camera for Maya” is a project I created at the New York University Tisch Asia School of the Arts, Animation and Digital Arts MFA Program. My goal was to simulate a handheld camera in Maya and to experience it at the same time by simply holding the screen. A combination of computer vision and sensor based tracking was used to develop the solution.”
