Abstract:
Motion capture technology and immersive theater have become increasingly popular in the performing arts in recent years. However, integrating these two elements in immersive theater is still uncharted territory. Our research delves into the combination of motion capture technology and performance elements to expand the creative possibilities within immersive theater. Drawing inspiration from the classic “Beauty and the Beast” story, we focus on the interplay between appearance and inner self, with motion capture enhancing character development. Performers seamlessly transition between virtual characters and objects, creating immersive experiences in unconventional venues. This innovative approach represents a significant advancement in motion capture technology in immersive theater. Future work could involve refining motion capture technology and exploring unique viewing perspectives. Our study offers valuable insights and inspiration for creators in this evolving field.
