Virtual stage sets in live performing arts (from the spectator to the spect-actor)

Abstract

This paper studies the added value of VR to the art of stage setting through examples and experiments. It will also analyze the link between the audience and digital sets (VR, AR), from an aesthetic point of view as well as a practical one. It is important for us to succeed in creating a theatrical set which favors the spectator's presence for him to become a live performing spectator, and thus have a stronger link with the setting in the short as well as long run.
