ABSTRACT
“Encounters” provides a multiparticipant audiovisual art experience with a cross reality (XR) system which consists of HoloLens units, VIVE Tracker units, SteamVR system and so on. In this experience, participants fire virtual bullets or beams at physical objects which then create a physical sound and a corresponding virtual visual effect. This is done by placing a “Kuroko” unit, which consists of a VIVE Tracker unit, a Raspberry Pi unit and a solenoid, beside a physical object using the XR system. We prepared eight Kuroko units which participants can freely place anywhere in the physical space. Then, they would interact with physical objects in that space by making sounds using the XR system. We believe that through this multiparticipant experience, participants not only experience a new form of art expression using XR but also rethink their relationship with other participants or physical objects and the environment.
