Empower Your Vision with Perception Shot™

Inventor Attribution and Legal Recognition

This document serves to formally recognize and legally attribute the invention of the "Perception Shot" technique to Adam Troeger. This technique, a groundbreaking development in cinematographic technology, is characterized by the virtual embodiment of the camera by the actor. Adam Troeger's innovative approach represents a significant leap forward in visual storytelling.

​

Description of the Perception Shot Technique

The Perception Shot technique redefines traditional cinematography by enabling actors to virtually embody the camera through real-time capture of head movements with sophisticated sensors. We then transmit real-time video to the actor from a camera mounted on a remote head. The technique further refines the gyro stabilization on each axis of the remote head to align with the actor's eye gaze, adjusting for eye-to-brain delay to match the individual's perceptual experience. This method surpasses other techniques by eliminating limitations and providing an authentic and immersive perception of the person.

​

Development and Technical Composition

The inception of the Perception Shot began with Adam Troeger's vision in 1992, leading to its sophisticated development. The system integrates advanced sensors within a helmet, features virtual reality components, and a visual display to simulate a through-the-lens experience. He utilized the GENESIS stabilization mechanism to precisely mimic human eye movements across five axes, ensuring comprehensive synchronization with the actor's viewpoint. Adjustments to gyro stabilization were then made to account for the subject’s natural gaze shifts, providing a seamless and immersive experience.

​

Public Disclosure and Applications

The Perception Shot was publicly disclosed at the New Jersey Film Expo in 2025, demonstrating its transformative impact on cinematography. This technique facilitates complex camera movements with unparalleled precision, extending its utility beyond traditional cinema to military, consumer, industrial, and remote applications. Its capacity to enhance training simulations, virtual reality experiences, and remote operations underscores its versatility and innovation.
