Interactive Volumetric Stories Across Immersive Displays

Abstract

We describe three interactive augmented reality stories for children that we showed at the Cannes Film Festival “Marche du Film” in July 2021. The stories were developed using a novel technique: 3D modeling and animation from within the Virtual Reality. The audience at Cannes viewed and interacted with these stories using mixed reality glasses, a prototype of the Sony Spatial Display, and an AR-enabled tablet. We report on the technical development process and the feedback from the Cannes audience.
