STAGING, Staging of virtual inhabited 3D spaces / Iscenesættelse af virtuelle beboede 3D rum

STAGING is a national, interdisciplinary project (1998-2002) focusing on the use of a theatre metaphor for exploration, analysis, and construction of interactive, inhabited Virtual Reality environments. The project has partners ranging from dramaturgy and media science over architecture to engineering science, with representatives from several Faculties of Aalborg Universitet, Århus Universitet, Roskilde Universitet, and Center for Sprogteknologi (CST). The project is divided into three teams: on analysis, methods, and construction, respectively, and CVMT is leading the construction-team and is responsible for implementation of a series of concrete interactive Virtual Reality systems, based on design input from project partners. CVMT has had a very fruitful collaboration with Institute for Dramaturgy at Århus Universitet (IDAU) and with CST. See also Virtual Reality Platform for Interactive, Inhabited Virtual Worlds. Funded by the Danish Research Councils. (Erik Granum, Claus B. Madsen, Thomas Moeslund, Rasmus Agerholm)
