The basic argument of Claudio S. Pinhanez in this paper from 1996 is that until recently theatrical performances involving human and computer actors were not possible due to the lack of appropriate computational models for action representation, recognition, and generation. Pinhanez surveys and classifies some recent experiments in computerized performances, and uses this classification as a framework to establish the importance of action as a foundation of computer theater. He also argues that computer theater has many characteristics which qualify it as a good domain for AI and computer vision research on action. Finally, an example of a script for a computer theater performance is provided and analyzed in terms of scientific and technological challenges.

Die Schülerinnen müssen lernen, das richtige Gefühl - Zorn, Liebe, Verzweiflung - mit Worten auszudrücken, die nicht die eigenen sind, sondern die eines Autors, und das ist schwierig. Das ist die erste Bedeutung von Spielen: die Rollen.
