Live Theater on a Virtual Stage: Incorporating Soft Skills and Teamwork in Computer Graphics Education

摘要

The authors discuss their experiences providing collaborative opportunities for students via an interdisciplinary set of courses focused on the production of theatrical performances in a virtual space. The project, Virtual Theater, is a joint venture at the Rochester Institute of Technology between the School of Design and Department of Computer Science, and has the goal of enabling live performance in a virtual space with participants in different physical locales. Students work in teams, collaborating with other students in and out of their disciplines.
