Photos: Being Iron Man, in real time

This device captures video in real-time animation of an actor wearing the motion-capture suit moving around as the character, Iron Man. The idea with the device is that a director can hold it and see, in real time, how the actor appears against a digital background he or she is superimposed on. This allows a director to see, on the fly, how footage for a film might look.
