Abstract

This invention relates to a system for controlling the motion of a set of stereoscopic cameras. The system comprises a set of display devices (4510, 4520), an indicator controller (3920), a computing device (4510 or 4520), a transmitter (4530 or 4540) and a receiver (4550 or 4560) and a camera controller (4580 or 4590). The set of display devices (4510, 4520) displays at least one stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image comprising a pair of two-dimensional plane images. The indicator controller (3920) controls movement of at least one input device indicator being displayed on the two-dimensional plane images, the at least one input device indicator being configured to move to a target location on the two-dimensional plane images. The computing device (4510 or 4520) determines a location value for the target location of the at least one indicator. The transmitter (4530 or 4540) transmits the determined location value to a set of stereoscopic cameras (30, 32). The receiver (4550 or 4560) receives the location value. The camera controller (4580 or 4590) controls the motion of the stereoscopic cameras (30, 32) based on the received location value.
