日本举行VR内容大赛，裸眼VR作品走进剧场 - IT资讯

近日，位于横滨的DMM VR THEATER举办了一场利用全息投影和VR技术制作内容的赛事《HOLOGRAPHIC VR CONTEST 2016》。在这场比赛上，审查员将观看来自各位参赛选手的作品，并现场进行评奖。

DMM VR THEATER是一家能将影像投影到特殊屏幕上，给人造成影像中物体实际存在错觉的影院。与3D电影不同，观影者无需佩戴3D眼镜，裸眼便可欣赏3D画面。此外，因为屏幕的透光性很高，演员也可以在舞台上利用这一屏幕进行表演。

本次大赛便是利用了DMM VR THEATER的这一特性征集作品，旨在促进新的艺术表现形式及日本CG、影像、VR等创意产业的发展。

本次大赛共评选出8个作品，接下来我们将为大家介绍其中的头奖和二等奖。

头奖获奖作品《KIBIDANCE》

这部作品根据日本传统故事《桃太郎》改编，以斗舞这一充满娱乐性的形式来表现。故事的主线剧情依然是桃太郎带领猴子、狗、山鸡前往鬼岛消灭鬼怪，但桃太郎和鬼通过“斗舞”的形式决胜负可谓前所未有。

值得一提的是，出场的桃太郎一行都是CG。有着五颜六色皮肤的猴子、狗、野鸡，比人个头还大的鬼怪，无论跳多么激烈的舞蹈也不会气息紊乱，以上这些都是真正的人类不可能做到的。然而，由于该剧场独有的特性，让人不禁怀疑舞台上真的有人在表演。

在表演过程中有这样一幕：桃太郎一行乘坐的小船和周围起伏的海浪瞬间消失，布景摇身一变成为了凹凸不平的鬼岛的景色。在保留了现实中舞台的同时，这是唯有搭配CG才能完成的舞台效果。尽管作品本身比较短小，但却十分值得一看。株式会社Transistor Studio

二等奖《DEEP》

这是一款展现深海中居住的神秘生物的作品。随着不断深入海中，神秘的深海生物不断出现。

影像一开始展现的是被朝霞映照的海天一色景象。随后，瞬间就仿佛真正的大海出现在了狭窄的影院之中。

在海中，观影者能看到巨大的鱼和水母来来往往。由于是投影到屏幕上，一部分画面无法展现出来，但依然能让人体会到大海的美妙之处。有限会社Eallin Japan Co.,Ltd.

特别放映作品

除了以上为大家介绍的作品之外，还有一些不使用VR头盔的VR作品也参加了这次比赛。这一类作品往往给人留下一种探索新的表现形式的印象。

在比赛休息期间，作为DMM VR THEATER落成的庆祝演出，播放了摇滚乐团X JAPAN吉他手，同时也是独唱艺人“hide”的现场版演出VR影像。

Hide早已亡故，如今想要欣赏其本人的现场表演已经不可能了。但是，这一段仿佛hide近在眼前的现场影像，让人不敢相信是凭借CG技术制作出来的。

看着被舞台上的灯光照耀着的hide，虽身在现实，但却能给人一种舞台上仿佛回到了过去的感觉。

通过本次比赛，今后，我们有理由期待将有更多VR与剧场相结合的新的表现形式和作品呈现在我们眼前。
