| The Four Angry Men demo based on the
classic drama Twelve Angry Men. The user can view the experience
from one of four jurors’ viewpoints. The user takes a
seat as one of the jurors and experiences the events from that
person’s perspective. |

This demo AR experience is based on the classic teleplay and film
Twelve Angry Men. It illustrates a kind of experience that
the DART system makes possible: a multiple point-of-view (POV), dramatic
experience. The user puts on the HMD (Head-mounted display) and enters
a conference room with a large table in the middle surrounded by four
chairs. When the user sits down in any one of the chairs, virtual
characters appear in the other three chairs and present the dramatic
excerpt. The characters constitute an American jury debating the guilt
of a young man accused of killing his father. The jurors talk to each
other and directly to the user. |

By taking one of the seats, the
user occupies the POV and hears the voice of that juror, as
if it was her own voice. At any time the user can get up from
that seat and move to another. The scripted scene continues
with the user now occupying different point of view. |

The forerunner
to Four Angry Men was a simpler version called Three Angry Men. We
describe this earlier experiment in MacIntyre, B. and Bolter, J.D.
