PLACE_Hampi is an embodied theatre of participation in the drama of Hindu mythology focused at the most significant archaeological, historical and sacred locations of the World Heritage site Vijayanagara (Hampi), South India. It is an interactive installation that projects 3D imagery onto a 9-meter diameter circular screen from a rotating platform that is controlled by one of the viewers. Enfolded in this interactive installation, viewers explore a virtual landscape of panoramic locations enlivened by animated mythological events that reveal the intangible aspects of ongoing pilgrimage at the temple complex. Comprised of high resolution augmented stereoscopic panoramas and surrounded by a rich acoustic field PLACE-Hampi art iculates an unprecedented level of viewer co-presence in a narrative re-discovery of a cultural landscape.

Produced by the UNSW iCinema Research Centre in collaboration with Epidemic Paris, ZKM, Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Archaeological, Survey of India, Lille3000, Museum Victoria. Financially supported under the Australian Research Council’s Linkage funding scheme and the Australia Council’s Synapse funding scheme.

以世界遺產南印度毗奢耶那伽羅城（漢比村）中最具建築、歴史及神聖意義的地點為題的《漢比之旅》，是將印度教神話中戲劇具體化的參與式劇場。這是一個以九公尺直徑的環迴屏幕配合立體投射的互動裝置；影像從轉動的平台投射，由一名觀眾從平台上控制。把神話中的場景動畫化，讓觀眾在虛擬寺廟中經歴充滿傳說的朝聖之旅。高解像的擴增立體全景配以出色音效，讓觀眾以前所未有的方式去重新發現這片文化地帶。
