Abstract

We discuss the design of a public poetry performance in a collaborative virtual environment (CVE) and the lessons learned from staging it to 200 members of the public. The design, a collaborative effort between computer scientists, artists, poets and producers, addresses issues of virtual world structure; embodiment of performers and audience; navigation interfaces; temporal structure of the event; and mixed reality presentation. The lessons include virtual audience members ignoring the poets; the poets ignoring the audience; conflicting attitudes towards the design of embodiments; and problems coping with unpredictable human and system behavior. New CVE design possibilities are proposed, including object-cantered interaction and context-sensitive interaction.
