Out of theater: Interactive Mixed-reality Performance for Intangible Culture Heritage Glove Puppetry

摘要

Traditional puppetry is popular performing art in ancient time. However, as an intangible culture heritage, the traditional puppetry is facing the problem of losing audiences. In this paper, we present an interactive mixed-reality performance for intangible culture heritage glove puppetry. In details, we setup the performance in an history site and adopt the glove puppet performance robot to conduct the performance. Along with the interaction of professional puppeteers, audiences and the robot, the performance brings people with immersive performance experience. The mixed-reality interactions guide audiences to participate into the performance, and stir their interest in intangible culture heritage. We implemented our performance in four cases, and analyzed the immersive and interactive factors of our experiments. We hope our work can provide insights for designing culture heritage related mixed reality interactions.
