A background display system for a virtual image recording studio comprises a background display device which is configured to display, behind or above a real subject, a representation of a virtual background for a recording by means of an associated camera, and a control device which is configured to control the background display device. The control device comprises a data input for receiving lens data from the associated camera and is configured to adjust the representation of the virtual background in dependence of the received lens data.

A background display device for a virtual image recording studio is configured to display, behind a real subject, a representation of a virtual background for a camera recording and comprises an active illumination apparatus that comprises at least one panel having a plurality of picture elements in an at least two-dimensional arrangement; a control device; and a controllable lens arrangement. The control device is configured to control the active illumination apparatus to display the representation of the virtual background, and is configured to change a beam characteristic of at least some of the plurality of picture elements by controlling the lens arrangement.

The proposed invention relates to the field of providing photographic services. An interactive system for processing and managing multimedia data comprises a set of interconnected technical elements arranged inside a housing having on its inside an adaptive surface that is connected with the equipment. The adaptive surface has a communicative effect on the images being formed, which, as a rule, are processed together with augmented reality components by means of software of at least one of the aforesaid technical elements. One of said elements is a smart unit with a processor for processing and subsequently distributing incoming signals generated by a user. Said signals are distributed among the other technical elements, the specifics of the operating process and mode of which are predetermined and are directed toward the realization, in accordance with a given algorithm.

Backdrop rear-illumination apparatus, active green screen and method for performing dynamic backdrop rear-illumination. The active green screen comprises a green screen, a diffusing material and a backdrop rear-illumination apparatus, the backdrop rear-illumination apparatus comprising a light assembly and a light controller. The light assembly comprises one or more light-emitting device, a light emitted by each light-emitting device first passing through the diffusing material and then passing through the green screen. The light controller comprises light driver(s) for controlling at least one operating parameter of the light-emitting device(s). The light controller further comprises at least one user interface or a light remote control module for respectively actuating the light driver(s). A computing device generates light control command(s) via a graphical user interface or an algorithm. The light control command(s) are transmitted to the light remote control module for controlling the at least one operating parameter of the light-emitting device(s).

A background display device for a virtual image recording studio is configured to display, behind or above a real subject, a representation of a virtual background for a recording by an associated camera. Furthermore, the background display device is configured to display a plurality of predetermined optically detectable position markers, in order to enable a determination of a position of the associated camera relative to the background display device.

Disclosed embodiments include a selfie camera system for capturing selfie content and sharing captured content on a social media and/or a video streaming platform. In various embodiments, selfie camera makes capturing higher quality selfie content more efficient by providing a preview of the selfie content before and after capture. One or more aspects of previews may be modified to simulate content displayed on a social media and/or video streaming platform. The selfie camera may be easily attached to any surface using one or more mounting mechanisms to allow the selfie camera for function as a personal, private photographer than can capture any scene from a variety of perspectives using a variety of capture sequences.
