MR Kabuki: Mixed Reality Enabled Performing Arts

Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: We developed a system for viewing Kabuki, a traditional Japanese performing art form, using a Mixed Reality headset, which was experienced by approximately 100 visitors as a demonstration experiment.Kabuki often deals with classical works and it is sometimes difficult to understand the story and dialogue.The MR headset enables visitors to see commentary on the story, characters, lines and lyrics, and hear additional sound effects without obstructing their view of the actual stage, which deepens their understanding and makes them more immersed in the performance.Demonstrations have shown that they are particularly useful for novice Kabuki audiences.
