USING AUGMENTED REALITY FOR ENTERTAINMENT

摘要

In this paper we will discuss the initial results of an ongoing research project exploring the potential of augmented reality as an entertainment medium. We summarize two projects that exploit different aspects of the relationship between the physical and virtual worlds in immersive first person augmented reality (AR), and report on their results. The first project, A Mad Tea Party, explores how procedural characters and symmetries in the physical and virtual worlds can expose interaction possibilities and increase immersion of the experience. The second, Three Angry Men, explores how the first person point-of-view and temporal discontinuities can be used to create a compelling experience. We will also briefly discuss our conceptual framework of remediating existing media forms (film, stage, and interactive CD-ROM) and building on cultural expectations of our users.
