The stage was big and well lit, when needed. Joseph was a Prop person. He was working on a set of props when Media Man Duncan suggested some VR solutions. He wanted to develop a set of decorated backgrounds for an opera that would not only be virtual, but tri-dimensional and would travel from the stage to the audience in a way that every patron would be able to watch and manipulate them from the outside and from the inside. There would be no need for gloves or glasses anymore to interact with the floating props. The Duncan’s idea was inspired by Mark Chagall’s light-based sets for the Mozart’s "The Magic Flute" created way back in time. Joseph felt upset about the idea, as he had just sculpted some beautiful figures ready to be put into action. Luckily, the trombonist, who also worked at the University, arranged with the Computer Graphics Department to scan Joseph’s props and enter them into a 3D program. This way, the exact virtual replicas were based on Joseph's creations. Moreover, this way Joseph had the power to save them for the future as modified applications.
