| Interactive play measuring
biological signals of volunteers. Virtual
Meditation #1 is an experiment
in interactive drama. Two volunteers
become the actors in the play by providing their
faces and names to virtual actors, and their
measurable biological
signals are used as input to
influence the performance of the play. We are
using technology, in the guise of biofeedback
sensors, virtual scenes, and 3D face modeling,
to turn select audience members into actors
by involving them directly in the drama. Their
desires and fears of
touching each other, of holding
hands with a stranger, become integral parts
of the play itself, changing our perception
of what is traditionally thought of as a theatrical
experience.
What’s New:
1. A scripted
introduction and conclusion.
2. Scripted "research assistants"
