Prometheus
PROMETHEUS
Context-aware Adaptive 3D Projection based on Motion and Activity Estimation for the Immersive and Interactive Experience of Ancient Drama Performances.
The Project
The ancient drama simultaneously represents a national treasure and central point for the modern artistic creations, both in Greece and worldwide. However, the study of the ancient drama at the level of theatrical play, especially with respect to the role of Aristotelian views (costume design, objects and machines used in ancient theater plays, etc.) and unities (interactions with the objects, with spectators, etc.) is not equally developed. The main objective of the PROMETHEUS proposal develops on three major directions, which converge towards the revival of older and highly important ancient drama plays, with an educational and experiential character through a life theater play or in an open living lab installed at the National Theater of Northern Greece: (i) creation of a digital library of 3D objects used in older ancient drama plays; (ii) design and implementation of innovative computer vision and 3D projection tools, which can be used by the various stakeholders (scenographer, costume designer, etc.) to integrate augmented reality in new plays and build immersive spaces for the actors; (iii) design and implementation of technologically advanced tools which allow to the public interact with the play and the actors, and at the same time understanding better the historical and cultural concepts promoted by the ancient drama plays. The objective will be achieved by implementing PROMETHEUS, a novel and integrated system based on computer vision and 3D projection techniques, which will allow the creation of 3D digital objects with interactive and dynamic properties and their integration in new ancient drama plays in an augmented reality immersive space.
