Inspired by immersive theater, we designed a framework called MiraStage to facilitate interactions in the virtual and real world by creating asymmetrical dynamics among users. Participants can join as either explorers or actors. As actors, they receive cues based on logic established in the environment. They are able to manipulate virtual entities, usually with higher priority than explorers, receive various cues throughout the scenario—mostly based on the objects that explorers are interacting with—and decide which visual hints, if any, they want to provide to explorers. As explorers, participants progress through the narrative by interacting with the actor and exploring both the virtual and physical environments. They can use, destroy, and manipulate virtual entities, ask the actor for feedback or hints, and make major decisions that influence the narrative.
