This week, we learned how to use Unreal Engine to synchronize a mobile phone’s sensors and camera for real-time control of the virtual camera. This allows me to walk through my created scene with a handheld camera, moving around to capture the content I want to shoot. Using a physically mobile camera provides a more immersive and interactive experience.

The teacher first played a music video by Jackson Wang to show us the potential effects of this technology. This piqued my interest, and I decided to test it with a project I created last semester.

This picture contains my notes, including steps on managing plugins and connecting Live Link. Ultimately, I successfully synchronized the camera, allowing me to walk freely through my scene. I found this to be extremely interesting.
