Pre-visualization device

A pre-visualization device for movie, game, and other digital media creation, the pre-visualization device comprising:

• a marker plane;
• one or more physical markers adapted to be physically located and moveable on the marker plane, wherein each physical marker comprises means adapted to provide position data in relation to its position on the marker plane;
• a motion tracking system configured to capture the position and possible movement of the one or more physical markers on the marker plane;
• and
• a computing environment adapted to be coupled to cameras of the motion tracking system, the marker plane and possibly to the one or more physical markers,
• wherein the computing environment comprises a central processing unit (CPU) further comprising one or more processors, and computer storage media,
• wherein the computer storage media comprises instructions stored thereon, which, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to capture position data and possibly motion of at least one physical marker on the marker plane using the motion tracking system,
• wherein the motion tracking system is adapted to capture position information from reflection means and transmit the position data comprising position information to the CPU to determine position of the one or more physical markers on the marker plane;
• wherein at least one of the one or more processors of the CPU is a graphics processing unit (GPU) and the CPU is configured to generate, in real-time, a scene based on the captured position data and possibly motion of the one or more markers.
