ABSTRACT:
A performance or show production system and method allows a performer to control and interact with an on-stage display or screen. The on-stage screen is used to create a virtual extension of the stage. Images displayed on the screen may include video playback and real-time generated, texture mapped graphics. The system includes a media production system for producing visual images, a display system for displaying the visual images, a tracking system for tracking the position of the performer on the stage and for producing a position indication, and a control system for controlling the production of visual images by the media system as a function of the position of the entertainer on the stage.
