Gestalten Sie Ihr eigenes Theater, in dem Sie die Hauptrolle spielen, Charaktere erfinden oder der Regisseur sind. In “Gulliver's Box“ können Sie alleine oder mit Freunden eine ganze Geschichte entwerfen und in einer virtuellen Realität erlebbar machen.
Wie in der Welt der Riesen und Zwerge in "Gullivers Reisen" von Jonathan Swift ist es das Spiel mit Maßstäben und Relationen, die gewohnte Sehweisen aufbrechen. Die zentrale Herausforderung dieses Projektes bestand in der Positionierung eines neuartigen Mediums zwischen Theater, Film und Installation.

“Gulliver's Box” was developed and realized at the Human Interface Lab of Osaka University’s Graduate School of Engineering Science, the Ars Electronica Futurelab and the Zaxel Systems Inc.
