Synthetic Camera

• How to explain 3D viewing, projection to the computer.

• Synthetic camera paradigm

  • position of camera

  • area of interest (direction camera lens is pointed in)

  • orientation (which way is up)

  • field of view (wide angle, normal...)

  • depth of field (clipping planes, sort of)

  • tilt of view/film plane (if not normal to view direction)

  • perspective or parallel projection? (camera near objects or an infinite distance away)
