Embodied Interactions for Novel Immersive Presentational Experiences
Fabrice Matulic, Lars Engeln, Christoph Träger, Raimund Dachselt · 2016
In this work, we introduce and propose a preliminary realisation of a concept to enhance live multimedia presentations, where presenters are directly integrated in their presentation content as interactive avatars. Using multimodal input, especially body gestures, presenters control those embedded avatars through which they can interact with the virtual presentation environment in a fine-grained fashion, i.e. they are able to manipulate individual presentation elements and data as virtual props. The goal of our endeavour is to create novel immersive presentational experiences for live stage performances (talks, lectures etc.) as well as for remote conferencing in more confined areas such as offices and meeting rooms.
