ABSTRACT
When Shakespeare was to be performed for a modern audience it was a television news studio location which helped to update humour written four centuries ago. Some sets and backdrops exist only in the memory of a computer. They can be changed at the click of a mouse, or tilted, rotated, zoomed into or panned across, all in perfect synch with the foreground. The TV script appears directly across the camera lens, but the viewers can’t see it – accomplished users give the impression that they’re just talking naturally. The news programme could have its own studio or share a set with the rest of the TV station. A virtual reality area in the studio will be able to interact with virtual graphics.
