Abstract / Summary

iMorphia combines body tracking, games engine technology and projection to create the illusion of an embodied virtual character within a virtual set. The performer wears a white costume onto which a virtual character is projected creating the illusion of a three dimensional figure, which through body tracking, closely follows the movements of the performer. Video glasses connected to a video camera enable the performer to see their transformed self from the same perspective as the audience. This shift in perspective, ‘the embodied performative turn’, represents a novel performative form of interaction directed at an audience whilst challenging inherent conventions of screen based interaction.
