Lost Origin: An 'Audience of the Future' Report. Towards a Design Framework for Mixed Reality Theatrical Experiences

Abstract

This paper documents the process of development of Lost Origin, an immersive experience taking place in mixed reality, designed by the production company Factory 42. Building on key findings from the experience, as well as Richard Schechner's well-known Six Axioms for Environmental Theater, the paper proposes an original framework for the design of immersive experiences in mixed reality.
