Staging the space of mixed reality - reconsidering the concept of a multi user environment
This paper presents our work and research findings on developing the concept of a multiuser shared environment for culture, performance, art and entertainment. It introduces artistic concepts of multiuser spaces focusing on the notion of virtual space as stage setting and on the behaviours and interactions of people within it. The VRML based demonstrator ``Murmuring Fields'' presents a mixed reality shared environment installation for several users based on a decentralised network architecture and supporting external participation across the internet and in shared physical space. The notion of user representation is replaced by the notion of user enactment, treating the concept of avatar as an extended body of communication. ``Murmuring Fields'' presents a prototype for an information space where real space becomes the interface to the virtual enabled by an invisible and intuitive fullbody interface environment. Following our goals for user embodiment and group interaction, connecting real and virtual environments as a mixed reality, we have developed the eMUSE system (electronic multi user stage environment). Derived from an artistic point of departure, the installation ``Murmuring Fields'', eMUSE is the underlying platform for networked communication, interface, rendering and display organisation. It uses VRML to implement mixedreality environments in which visitors' exploration and experience of virtual space are connected to real space as well as other participants' experiences. ``Murmuring Fields'' is made as part of the i3 projects eRENA (Electronic Arenas for Culture, Performance, Art and Entertainment) supported by the European Union Esprit program.
