- Illusory Interactive Preformance by Self Eye Movement

Abstract:
Media performance unit cell/66b uses images, sounds and sensor devices to expand the performance potential of the body. Ongoing inquiry goes into the interaction between stage and audiences. Stage performances are generally designed to present images in one way, namely from stage to audience. Audiences basically see the same scenery of the performances on the stage, though there may be some differences between their positions. The concept of our performance, however, is to make the stage more interactive (i.e. the stage could be composed to include audiences) so that audiences could have a more individualized experience. Consequently, we realized an illusory interactive performance by using a saccade-based display. In our stage, audiences can perceive different images according to their eye movements, even if performers move in the same way. Thus, their own actions make the scene more interactive than what physically exists.
