“…This presence effect induces two complementary issues: the first explores the necessary conditions for an actor to immerse himself in the body of an avatar and inhabit a virtual world. Early in 2000, [24] already established some basic rules for the theatrical use of VR. This question had not been addressed in the same period by Slater's experiment because immersive technologies with HMD had not yet become sufficiently qualitative and widespread.…”

This paper introduces a new method to achieve remote distributed performances using a virtual shadow theater and real time motion capture. It was used during the lockdowns in France in 2021 to reach remote scholar audiences with The Wizard without Shadow performance. After a review of remote distributed virtual experiments in performing arts, the paper details the creation-asresearch process that leads to two versions of the same story. It shows how the quality of the theatrical bond between the actor and the audience of the first face-to-face version is maintained in the second remote version combining a video conference platform and live motion capture in a video game engine to bring actors performances to two remote distributed audiences.

This paper proposes virtual social perspective-taking (VSP). In VSP, users are immersed in an experience of another person to aid in understanding the person's perspective. Users are immersed by 1) providing input to user senses from logs of the target person's senses, 2) instructing users to act and interact like the target, and 3) reminding users that they are playing the role of the target. These guidelines are applied to a scenario where taking the perspective of others is crucial -the medical interview. A pilot study (n = 16) using this scenario indicates VSP elicits reflection on the perspectives of others and changes behavior in future, similar social interactions. By encouraging reflection and change, VSP advances the state-ofthe-art in training social interactions with virtual experiences.

“…The first of two case study Attractions, the Virtual Theatre [19] supports users who can interact with the production and in a real sense [20] join the cast. This results in a form of real-time, dynamic theatre, where the production is changing in time according to the interactions of the digital actors and the participants within a predefined framework.…”
