Investigating the application of augmented reality systems in theatre
Summary:
Theatre, since its appearance, has made extensive use of technology, some times as means of the overall scenography and others as a main feature on a mixed media theatrical experience. Lately, we witness virtual and augmented reality technologies finding their way into new experimental artistic performances blurring the boundaries between the real and the virtual. Although these technologies have been around for decades, they were not ready to be used in a theatre setting, until recently. The augmented reality technology, specifically, is expected to reach an ideal point of marketability and exploitation in any field in the years to come, which makes it ideal for experimentation and development of new ways to use it for the foreseeable future. This work explores the history of technology usage in performative arts, investigates the applicability of current augmented reality systems in theatre and finally, proposes the design of a system that will support the production of theatrical plays that utilise augmented reality technologies.
