Exploring mixed-reality immersive performance making by combining theatre devising and human-computer interaction methods.

湖畔艺术和虚拟世界的制作人提议创建数字游乐场，这是一种为儿童和家庭提供的混合现实沉浸式表演。作为一个研究项目，这一做法的重点是开发一种混合方法来制作这样一个活动，将既定的戏剧制作方法与人机交互工具结合起来，以改进在具有艺术意义的混合现实活动中实施身临其境的技术。一个关键的考虑将是分析跨学科的混合现实表演方法如何适应当前戏剧制作和技术专家关于既定做法和意识形态的生态系统，以及我们如何克服相关的非生产性紧张和偏见。研究成果将帮助戏剧制作人和技术专家团体探索混合现实表演中沉浸式技术的叙事潜力。剧场设计是合作表演创作的既定框架，不再把剧本放在表演层次的顶端，而是提供了在表演中融入新颖元素的机会。虽然现有的戏剧制作方法，如视点，可以帮助表演者在表演、叙事设计和活泼方面利用戏剧工艺，但它们需要额外的机制来探索数字技术未经尝试的叙事潜力。人机交互可以提供这样的过程，包括用户体验设计、绿野仙踪方法论和交互叙事设计。然而，将戏剧制作和人机界面设计的框架结合起来，将需要对这两个领域的具体情况有深入的了解，探索汇合点，找出紧张和意识形态偏差的领域。研究见解将强调戏剧制作和人机交互方法的相关性，弥合方法上的差距，并支持未来创造引人入胜和有意义的混合现实艺术活动。

Lakeside Arts and Makers of Imaginary Worlds proposed the creation of a Digital Playground, a mixed-reality immersive performance for children and families. This practice as a research project focuses on developing a hybrid methodology to create such an event, combining established theatre-making methods with human-computer interaction tools to improve the implementation of immersive technologies in artistically meaningful mixed reality events. A key consideration will be to analyze how an interdisciplinary mixed reality performance-making methodology can fit in the current theatre-making and technologists' ecosystems regarding established practices and ideologies, and how we can overcome relevant unproductive tensions and prejudices. The research outcome will help groups of theatre makers and technology experts explore the narrative potential of immersive technologies in mixed-reality performances. Theatre devising is an established framework for collaborative performance creation, diverting from placing the playtext at the top of the performance-making hierarchy and providing the opportunity to incorporate novel elements in performance. Although established theatre-making methods such as Viewpoints can assist performance-makers in leveraging theatrical craftsmanship in performing, narrative devising, and liveness, they require additional mechanisms to explore the untried narrative potential of digital technologies. Human-computer interaction can provide such processes, including User Experience Design, Wizard of Oz methodology and Interactive Narrative Design. However, combining frameworks of theatre making and HCI design will require a deep understanding of the particulars of both fields, exploring points of convergence and identifying areas of tension and ideological deviation. The research insights will emphasize the relevance of theatre-making and human-computer interaction methods, bridge methodological gaps, and support the future creation of engaging and meaningful mixed-reality artistic events.
