The ORIGAMI project: advanced tools and techniques for high-end mixing and interaction between real and virtual content

ORIGAMI is an EU-funded IST project with the goal to develop advanced tools and new production techniques for high-quality mixing of real and virtual content for film and TV productions. In particular, the project proposes new techniques for 3D camera calibration and tracking and for 3D scene reconstruction and plenoptic modelling. Such solutions will support a variety of different object classes and application scenarios, including single-camera modelling of static environments, and multi-camera modelling of dynamic studio scenes. The developed methods will be integrated into a new software framework, which is being developed within the project. ORIGAMI also proposes novel techniques that enable real and virtual actors to interact with each other and with the real and virtual elements of the extended set.
