+Camera Kinetics is a piece of hardware that allows people to obtain INFORMED and stylized camera movements with one click.

Modes

absolute-01

Absolute.

One moving subject placed at center frame.  Real time tracking for dynamic shots that move beyond a single frame.

scan-01

Static Sweep.

One stationary subject at center frame.  Camera completes a multi axes pan around subject.  Subtle effect of rotating background.

followThru-01

Follow Thru.

Follows subject approach and then pans to subjects view.  Cadence of choreography is real time and adaptive.

Linear Motion Tracking Algorithm. (Scaled Motion)

As the pan tilt hits rotation lock and subject leaves center, the rail motion will compensate.

Pan Tilt Integration (Pending Hardware)

Kinect point enables 3 dimensional positioning, coupled with rudimentary cv allow for proper handling of complex motion.
