A Visual Support System for Planning of Stage Lights Control by Using Virtual-Diorama and Mixed-Reality

Abstract

This paper proposes a visual support system for planning stage lights control by using Virtual-Diorama and Mixed-Reality (MR). The Virtual Diorama visualizes effects of stage lighting so that every user can easily share a same image of the designed lighting. As the result the efficiency of the planning of stage lighting control can be improved. The MR technique solves problems in rehearsal such as limitation of practice-time and available lighting instruments. We implemented a pilot system of our proposed methods, and conduct on experimental evaluation to show the effectiveness.
