ABSTRACT
"Human Trials" is a networked, virtual, intermedia drama with human actors, intelligent agents and smart sets. The drama explores the intersection of virtual reality and embodied performance through an event designed both as an immersive experience for one participant, and as a non-immersive production for a live audience. This structural duality highlights the meta-theatricality potential of virtual reality performance and those outside it.
