Presence - The Integration of Classical Artistic Media in a Smart Space Prototype

摘要

In the mixed reality of the computer installation Presence, which functions as a prototype for a smart space, the visitor is placed in the position of a person in audience with the king. The interaction with a digital avatar is structured according to the rules of social behaviours and following the script of the Shakespeareȁ9;s play. The paper explains different aspects of the conceptualisation of an interdisciplinary collaboration between artists and computer engineers.
