Interagir avec un contenu op\'eratique : le projet d'op\'era virtuel interactif Virtualis

TL;DR

This paper presents the Virtualis interactive opera project, combining scientific modeling and artistic expression, exploring user-content interactions through physical force-based relationship models in a multimedia environment.

Contribution

It introduces a novel model of opera performance using organization science formalisms and physical force-based interaction models for artistic content engagement.

Findings

Developed a model of opera performance integrating scientific and artistic aspects.

Explored user interactions with multimedia contents using physical force models.

Detailed a reading and writing environment for complex artistic contents.

Abstract

In this article, we present the interactive opera project on CD-ROM Virtualis. This project includes a scientific dimension as well as artistic. It gave us the opportunity to design a model of the opera performance using formalisms from organization sciences. Moreover, our investigation on interactions between a user and opera contents led us to use models of relationships between entities based on physical forces, where the user is in a way absent. We detail some aspects of a reading but also writing environment on artistic complex contents between text, music and graphics.
