Computer Theater: Stage for Action Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper argues that computer theater are an interesting domain for research in action representation, recognition, and generation. Here, computer theater describes experiences and systems where performers use computers in theatrical performances, both as a means to expand their bodies and as partners. Some of the most recent experiences in computer theater are surveyed and classified according to criteria borrowed from computer music research. The possible uses of action understanding are then exemplified by examining our research on script-based control of TV cameras in a cooking show.

Space and time are the most important common elements of these two arts. Theater directors and designers can put on meaningful and identity- based performances if they make organic use of the human-space relationship in creating space. Phenomeno...

Autonomous characters can bring a new dimension to the theater experience by enabling the audience to go up on stage after the performance and inte...
متن کاملA Practical Dramaturgy for Actors through Theatrical Production Procedures
Dramaturgy, as a creative and critical act dependent on the theoretical and practical knowledge of theater, consists of two parts with Greek roots: Drama (action) and Ourgia (work and operation).
