Extended Reality Ulysses Demo.

This demo paper proposes to exhibit the pilot episode of XR Ulysses, a creative project investigating the possibilities for live performance using three-dimensional volumetric video (VV) techniques via virtual reality (VR) technologies. XR Ulysses is part of a series of innovative performance experiments hybridizing theatre and extended reality (XR) technologies. Conference attendees are invited to don an HMD, embody the character of Stephen Dedalus, and engage Buck Mulligan in the famous opening scene of Joyce’s book, situated on the top of the Martello Tower at Sandycove (Dublin). This scene enables individuals to experience a live-action re-enactment of James Joyce’s Ulysses in VR.
