Interactive "immaterial" screen for performing arts

Various performing arts increasingly employ projection screens and other information displays as essential elements of the show. We present some possibilities and lessons learned for the interactive, “immaterial” walk-through FogScreen in performing arts, analyze its suitability for stage setups, and give some guidelines for show design. We also describe our experiments on composing interactive 3D graphics for a FogScreen-based performance. Categories and Subject Descriptors J.5 [Arts and Humanities]; H.5.1 [Multimedia Information Systems]: Artificial, augmented, and virtual realities; H.5.2 [User Interfaces]: Graphical user interfaces; I.3.6 [Methodology and Techniques]: Interaction Techniques; I.3.8 [Computer Graphics] Applications. General Terms Performance, Design, Experimentation. Keywords FogScreen, performing arts, interaction, 3D graphics.
