Robotics, AI, and the Future of Theatre

Presented at 64th Annual United States Institute for Theatre Technology Conference and Stage Expo, 2024

Abstract:

Lets dive in to take a look at the future of Theatre. Robots and AI are coming, but not for your job. These emerging technologies can be leveraged to produce safer, more intricate, and more immersive shows. However, we need to ask ourselves if the show needs the technology or are we using them just because we can. Presented by the Engineering Commission.
