presentation
posted on 2019-07-15, 12:05 authored by Rebecca Saw, Lucy HammondWhat is the best way to seamlessly integrate immersive theatre with Virtual Reality?
Traitor VR is a two player mixed reality piece which combines live theatre with Virtual Reality. While one player wears a VR headset, the other changes what their partner sees with a real world control desk. Adapted from an immersive theatre show performed in 2017, it explores themes of citizenship, ethics and surveillance.
We discuss the challenges of designing an immersive thriller, integrating live actors with new technology and creating asymmetrical gameplay puzzles that build high stakes tension for young audiences.
Traitor had its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in 2019.
