Abstract: This paper describes a participatory theatrical performance named YOUPLAY. In YOU- PLAY, a general person who is usually treated as an audience member becomes an actor and plays a character role in the performance. He/she wears several types of equipments such as sensors and a microphone, and experiences an interactive story. While our sys- tem presents various interactive stage effects using wearable sensors, these devices raise hardware/software troubles. We found during the development and actual use of the system that such interactive systems need robust activity recognition techniques. We explain the details of the system for YOUPLAY and present the knowledge gathered from 80 actual stages. Additionally, we discuss the general design for interactive system with the results of questionnaires that are gathered from participants of our system, the occurrence of the troubles, and the way to deal with them.
