This research will determine if students can self-report higher levels of empathy through the Interpersonal Reactivity Index survey while watching actors in virtual reality (VR) wearing head-mounted displays (HMD), versus watching the same production live and in person. The study films an original undergraduate, student written play, using an Insta 360 One X 360-degree camera, to help compare and contrast the different mediums. The goal is to discover if VR should/can be implemented as a reliable mechanism for viewing live theatre in the future by testing how audiences relate to actors. This study does not challenge the current consensus on VR’s pitfalls and limitations, but rather adds to the discourse surrounding VR’s role in theatre.
