Figure 1: Traditional Performing arts theatre experience versus screen-based video watching experience versus Spatial Interaction-based Segmented-Audio (SISA) prototype experience.(Left) Traditional performance, though sensory engaging and immersive, requires physical attendance at theatre venues, extended passive listening, and relies on conventional practitioner enactment, highlighting fundamental constraints in ICH engagement and preservation.(Middle) Screen-based videos provides temporal flexibility but still lacks immersive engagement essential for authentic cultural appreciation.(Right) Our SISA prototype enables active audience participation through spatial interactions with segmented audio elements in an immersive environment.
