Assignment 4

A) Remind "the problem"

One of my friends who is enjoying filming wants to move his camera while filming. However, he cannot use any kinds of psychokinesis, so someone else needs to hold his camera. He hopes to have some machines or tools that can control his camera automatically. He says a gimbal can do some parts of this function, but it is too difficult to track a specific object or move how he wants.
