IRIS is a cost-effective, learning-driven robotic camera system for cinematic motion control, using imitation learning to achieve smooth and repeatable camera movements.
The IRIS system is a new type of robotic camera arm designed to create smooth and repeatable camera movements for film and video production. Traditional robotic camera systems are expensive and complicated, but IRIS is affordable and easy to use, costing less than $1,000. It uses a type of artificial intelligence called imitation learning to learn from human demonstrations, allowing it to perform complex camera motions without needing detailed programming. This makes it accessible for filmmakers looking to achieve high-quality shots with precision and consistency.
