Hallwalls Resolutions 06

|
|||
| Overview |
||||
 |
We gave two performances of Acts
One and Two of
Human Trials at the Hallwalls Resolutions 2006 show. Most audience
members sat in the screening room and watched a large projection
of the virtual actor Josephine/Patofil's view of the virtual
drama. Josephine/Patofil entered the shared environment via a
monitor. Patofil was animated by pre-recorded motion capture. On the screen in this picture is the user (green robot), trying to snatch a crown from the head of an innocent monkat. |
|||
 |
Sarah, who played Filopat, was
also in front of the screen wearing an HMD. The audience could see her
in real life and her avatar, Filopat,on the screen from
Josephine/Patofil's perspective. Sarah was hooked up to a tracking system so her movements animated Filopat in real time. If the audience squinted at the laptop running Sarah's graphics they could also see Sarah/Filopat's point of view. On the screen behind the real Sarah, is a virtual monkat. |

 |
In the next room, the audience
participant joined the virtual world from a projection-based, passive
stereo VR display (that's why the images here are all doubled). S/he
saw the virtual Filopat (blue) and the virtual Patofil (red). They tell
her that she is to go on an important and life-changing quest. Thanks to Geoff Baum, Carl Lee & Joanna Raczynska for your help in setting up! Thanks also to our great audience participants! |
