The technology disclosed relates to adjusting the monitored field of view of a camera and/or a view of a virtual scene from a point of view of a virtual camera based on the distance between tracked objects. For example, if the user's hand is being tracked for gestures, the closer the hand gets to another object, the tighter the frame can become—i.e., the more the camera can zoom in so that the hand and the other object occupy most of the frame. The camera can also be reoriented so that the hand and the other object remain in the center of the field of view. The distance between two objects in a camera's field of view can be determined and a parameter of a motion-capture system adjusted based thereon. In particular, the pan and/or zoom levels of the camera may be adjusted in accordance with the distance.
A method of adjusting motion capture using a distance of two or more objects in a 3D monitored space, the method including:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium impressed with computer program instructions to control a virtual camera responsive to distance between two or more objects in a 3D monitored space, which computer program instructions, when executed on a processor, implement a method including:
