【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we present the first augmented reality system in the Philippines used with a theatrical performance. Augmented reality follows each main actor and intelligently combines active graphics with the actor during the performance. Each main actor is identified by a unique color which is integrated into his costume. The computer system, with an attached video camera capturing the performance, finds and tracks this unique color in real time using histogram back-projection. The image location of the color is then overlaid with graphics that enhance that actor's character. The captured video of the performance, together with the graphic enhancements, are then projected on a separate screen. The augmented reality system was used in the UP Los Baños Department of Humanities’ production of the stage play "Tao".
