Motion blur and depth of field for immersive content production systems

A immersive content generation system, comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, that execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• capturing a plurality of images of a physical object in a performance area using a taking camera, wherein the physical object is at least partially surrounded by one or more displays presenting images of a virtual environment;
• determining an orientation and a velocity of the taking camera with respect to the physical object in the performance area;
• receiving an input regarding a desired motion effect for the physical object;
• calculating an amount of motion blur to apply to a virtual object in the virtual environment based at least in part on the desired motion effect and the orientation and velocity of the taking camera, wherein the calculated amount of motion blur corrects for blur caused by the orientation and the velocity of the taking camera;
• applying the amount of motion blur to the virtual object in the virtual environment;
• and
• generating content based on the plurality of captured images and the amount of motion blur.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• capturing a plurality of images of a physical object in a performance area using a taking camera, wherein the physical object is at least partially surrounded by one or more displays presenting images of a virtual environment;
• determining an orientation and a velocity of the taking camera with respect to the physical object in the performance area;
• receiving an input regarding a desired motion effect for the physical object;
• calculating an amount of motion blur to apply to a virtual object in the virtual environment based at least in part on the desired motion effect and the orientation and velocity of the taking camera, wherein the calculated amount of motion blur corrects for blur caused by the orientation and the velocity of the taking camera;
• applying the amount of motion blur to the virtual object in the virtual environment;
• and
• generating content based on the plurality of captured images and the amount of motion blur.
