Farewell to Dawn: A Virtual Theatre Production
Anna Dining, Joe Geigel · 2020 IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces Abstracts and Workshops (VRW) · 2020
In this video, we present Farewell to Dawn [1], an exemplar of Virtual Theatre, which we define as a live theatrical performance realized completely in a virtual space with contributors participating from different physical locales. The dance piece was performed live at the Rochester Institute of Technology in December 2016. This production combines virtual and augmented reality with motion capture to produce a live theatrical experience fully realized and experienced in a virtual space. The video presents the complete dance performance interspersed with behind the scene footage resulting in a unique 360 viewing experience.
