Currently videos of movies depict the camera viewing 1 or more of the subjects at 1 particular angle and 1 particular zoom factor. Now if you used some tech, say Intel's new "immersive media" using "volumetric content", https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2018/01/intel-studios-fact-sheet.pdf then you could combine the known position of people and objects, ray tracing, and what each items color is to allow a video file to be played from different perspectives, zoom factors, and looking at different people/things. It's a long way off, I know, and at the risk of saying the obvious, the decisions that are made today are the ones that affect tomorrow. With AMD's interest in what buyers think of RTX, and the fact that they have created and released opensource drivers, thus demonstrating that we are worthy of their time, this gives the Linux community a chance to finally be included in the discussion! I don't understand the communities lack of enthusiasm! I'm up to only 9 votes across 6 distros! :( Thanks, David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEL2N7+xWmVOJDQxWGm3XCrhg2YP8FAlxnXIgACgkQm3XCrhg2 YP9GChAAyFPCwcCezmUupLkG3BdzoTtUzcaIGt5dB5scHvBoiKDuNzS3QheY2tGw ZOwv/0w7R7p3cXEBR9aBlpwfkYzCBkRaSob6XckiSYp6srv5r3C6UFS0vCKH9eYU 8pkHU+P6rV1N0jNZKywnCmJ1J6rAzf3q2tSwaSAMSZA3jStEYU3vFFcVHE9nx24l fuVUtGvdQZ/xBea3MgIeYY86YJ6y2u20wZ90iIm0Ay4fKkIP9Bf5TKtKOjM7aeic GXILg1BU5ZjX44hoKS4OZpJogAXqmAJGNZFACugrhngNhb8ib/A9urqk2EmvvhJH RuIAN7e5kCqcWZPQ78Eq7GKk4OOWw76r0hhhQjYOpeS6rYhvQ+ImkJgruOb6397T wl7FdMRkLwDlhQA45gsFg56ES+YwOxSKwYnGNrydokhWQmwTqtCm3yK/C64Kk7up cnE+ex5evJmCJ5M3I/mzMwOtCeKMF7KlHyfHpr/7XktklH5mp/euYF1csK20+cuE cEZUIycTl/kD6UhKdPp/7EvMkc3xmE/Dqg5rpoA55r+hap+NOuh5v2Bh9uW3OVpg eQiXjTR9ovBgoAlC26t0NzRJbVobMf9wf+CaohAQKJjaN0fCaFYX/3ZKKTYyqh6/ T+jQxtG5dfJeX8KUeIGK82Z4DXV83495EQf7NoXa1sQnGX5kn8Q= =7Mfz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
