Abstract:
“Three Angry Men” is a novel augmented reality experience that explores the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as a dramatic medium. The user participates in an AR version of the famous twentieth-century play, “Twelve Angry Men,” [Rose 1983] which for practical reasons we have abbreviated into a scene involving 3 characters (thus, “Three Angry Men”). The participant finds herself immersed in a physical jury-room, where virtual characters (jurors in the drama, rendered as video-based characters overlaid at appropriate 3D locations around the physical table using a see-through head-worn display) debate the guilt of a young man on trial for murder (see Figure 1).
