Screen: bodily interaction with text in immersive VR

Published:27 July 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

Bodily interaction with text creates new reading experiences by involving the body of the reader. This has been explored in video installation art, but without immersive 3D. Using a virtual reality environment (the Brown University Cave) we are able to make the bodily experience more direct. In our initial piece, Screen, the reader produces three different textual experiences from the same body of text, two of which differ significantly based on how her body is employed to "play" the piece.
