Digital technology has given rise to new media forms. Interactive theatre is such a new type of media that introduces new digital interaction methods into theatres. In a typical experience of interactive theatres, people enter cyberspace and enjoy the development of a story in a non-linear manner by interacting with the characters in the story. Therefore, in contrast to conventional theatre which presents predetermined scenes and story settings unilaterally, interactive theatre makes it possible for the viewer to actually take part in the plays and enjoy a first person experience.In "Interactive" Article section of this article, we are concerned with embodied mixed reality techniques using video-see-through HMDs (head mounted display). Our research goal is to explore the potential of embodied mixed reality space as an interactive theatre experience medium. What makes our system advantageous is that we, for the first time, combine embodied mixed reality, live 3D human actor capture and Ambient Intelligence, for an increased sense of presence and interaction.
