Abstract

The paper presents a conceptual model of a Mixed Reality architecture by the fusion of physical and digital space exemplified with the Murmuring Fields scenario. The concept of spatial perception is supported by perceptive interfaces superimposing different levels of reality. This situation shapes the performers experience of being present in Mixed Reality space by acting. The structure of this Mixed Reality architecture is a notation system describing layers of physical and digital space for a hypermedia storybook. The inter-connected space creates a new framework for communication and interaction. To this end, the result is eMUSE, electronic Multi-user stage environment for rapid prototyping of Mixed Reality architectures.
