Abstract

In the last few years, the immersive theater has become a new trend for modern performances.Venues increasingly utilize widely available computer technologies, such as virtual/augmented realityand spatial sound, to help facilitate the realization of different ideas. Motivated by this current trend, aprototype platform has been developed that enables the design and implementation of an augmentedtheatrical experience based on spatial sound immersion. This paper describes the implementationof the platform and, through several use case scenarios, its evaluation. The paper concludes with adiscussion of the results and offers some thoughts on future developments.
