Virtual Vaudeville: An Interactive 3D Simulation of Historical Performance

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2004 Project Briefings / Virtual Vaudeville: An Interactive 3D Simulation of Historical Performance

April 1, 2004

David Z. Saltz
Assistant Professor
University of Georgia

Virtual Vaudeville uses 3D gaming technologies to transport scholars and students back to the nineteenth century on their computers. Users can watch a rigorously researched recreation of a vaudeville performance, moving freely through a richly detailed theater to explore the architecture, stage performers, and the reactions of 800 spectators. The project, supported by the National Science Foundation, draws together an interdisciplinary team of historians, digital artists, motion capture specialists, programmers, and theatre practitioners from seven universities. Virtual Vaudeville is a prototype of the “Live Performance Simulation System,” a fully generalizable system for simulating live performance events from any historical period. The project models a powerful new tool for teaching performance and cultural history and for scholarly research and digital publication in the arts and humanities.
