To a cultural perspective of mixed reality events: a case study of event overflow in operas and concerts in mixed reality

Jean-François Lucas

Mixed reality defines the sharing of a space-time between the real and the virtual world. The definition of this concept is further extended when virtual worlds such as Second Life (SL) are included. Through cultural events such as concerts and operas, we ...
