The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of virtual concerts, bridging the physical and virtual worlds for performers and audiences. However, the emotional connection of live concerts remains irreplaceable. To address this issue, we propose DualStage, a ...

This talk describes an interdisciplinary educational experience involving cohorts of students studying Computer Science, Dance, 3D Digital Design and Music. The experience takes a problem based learning approach towards a target goal of presentation of ...

Studying social interaction in real-world settings is of increasing importance to social cognitive researchers. Theatre provides an ideal opportunity to study rich face-to-face interactions in a controlled, yet natural setting. Here we collaborated with ...

Losing Her Voice is a new opera which highlights the challenges of subtly interweaving digital technologies into established cultural forms. Audience members were encouraged to use their own mobile phones to interact with on-stage projections before, ...

Frisson is the feeling and experience of physical reactions such as shivers, tingling skin, and goosebumps. Using entrainment through facilitating interpersonal transmissions of embodied sensations, we present "Frisson Waves" with the aim to enhance live ...

Live streaming sites such as Twitch offer new ways for remote audiences to engage with and affect gameplay. While research has considered how audiences interact with games, HCI lacks clear demarcations of the potential design spaces for audience ...

Social interaction is important when audience are participating in a live performance. With strong immersion and high degree of freedom (DoF), virtual reality (VR) is often used to present performance events, such as virtual concert. A live performance ...

Duplicating the audience experience of an art performance with VR technology is a promising VR application, which is considered to provide better viewer experience than the conventional video. As various forms of art performances are recorded by the ...

REVIVE explores the affordances of live interaction between the artificial musical agent MASOM, human electronic musicians, and visual generation agents. The Musical Agent based on Self-Organizing Maps (MASOM) has memorized sound objects and learned how ...

This paper explores the use of head-mounted displays (HMDs) as a way to deliver a front row experience to any audience member during a live event. To do so, it presents a two-part user study that compares participants reported sense of presence across ...

When bringing animated characters to life, artists often augment the primary motion of a figure by adding secondary animation -- subtle movement of parts like hair, foliage or cloth that complements and emphasizes the primary motion. Traditionally, ...

Live animation of 2D characters is a new form of storytelling that has started to appear on streaming platforms and broadcast TV. Unlike traditional animation, human performers control characters in real time so that they can respond and improvise to ...

LOS ATLANTIS was a multisite live performance created within a research effort exploring the simultaneous authorship of story and code. This case study describes the systems and interfaces for the authors and production team. The piece's story followed ...

This article focuses on the introduction of control, authoring, and composition in human-computer music improvisation through the description of a guided music generation model and a reactive architecture, both implemented in the software ImproteK. This ...

Bad News is a game about death notification that combines deep simulation and live performance. After discovering a dead body, the player is tasked with tracking down a next of kin to inform him or her of the death. To do this, the player must discover ...

We introduce 'The interactive Audience Sensor Kit' (TASK). This modular system of wirelessly networked sensors facilitates the augmentation of artistic performances, in particular, music events or visual art. It was conceived to enable low-level and low-...

We describe an audiovisual live coding performance created using Gibber, a creative coding environment that runs in the browser. The performance takes advantage of novel affordances for rapidly creating music, shaders, and mappings that tie together ...

Performative Experience Design (PED) is an extension of experience design focusing on the unique timebound encounter between performers and spectators. Technology is purposefully designed to enhance the experience between audience and performers. PED ...

With HCI venturing more into designing for the cultural and entertainment domain, researchers are engaging with experimental designs, and technical interventions to understand how to best consider new technologies for this domain. This paper focuses on ...

We explore whether idiographic design, a category of interaction design that focuses upon responding to detailed personal accounts of individuals' practices, can be used to support interaction designers in responding to the complex and multifaceted ...
