Exploring the boundaries of augmented reality in a magic show performance

Published: 29 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

"Magic for a Pixeloscope" is an experimental performance that merges augmented and mixed reality and full-body interaction within a classical magic show. The magician uses custom based hardware and software to create new illusions which are a starting point to explore new language for magical and theatre expression.
