DescriptionThis is a BOF to discuss, discover and share virtual theatre projects.

Virtual theatre is live performance with real actors controlling characters through realtime software, often simulating virtualized representations of theatrical components, and even being remote! We now have AR/VR and realtime face tracking completely accessible on commodity smartphones - so that, potentially, any actor has the ability to participate in virtual theatre, in their pocket. This democratizes production and enables unusually low budget theatrical projects. You could even go home from SIGGRAPH and start your own virtual theatre!
