This project is an interactive theater experience that is part of an academic project on wearable technology at NCCU. It involves performance design, Xsens Mocap system, a real-time project system by Unity3D, and a custom-made motion capture system.

On stage, the performer wears motion capture suits while interacting with the audience in real time from behind the theater screen. This project enables new possibilities for interacting with audiences, where new media performing usually use pre-rendered videos that cannot interact with the audience.

The project is led by artist Hsin-Chien Huang and animation director Vick Wang. Engine Studio creates all the 3D models and visual materials, and Vera Chen is the performing director. My responsibility in the project is to manage all the systems and assets related to Unity3D. This includes handling the communication systems with the motion capture system, managing the performing flow, and taking care of the visual effects in Unity3D.
