In this paper we introduce two world-first Mixed Reality (MR) experiences that fuse smart AR glasses and live theatre and take place in a heritage site with the purpose to reveal the site's hidden and difficult histories about slavery. We term these unique general audience experiences Mixed Reality Heritage Performances (MRHP). Along with the development of our initial two performances we designed and developed a tool and guidelines that can help heritage organisations with their decolonising process by critically engaging the public with under-represented voices and viewpoints of troubled European and colonial narratives. The evaluations showed the embodied and affective potential of MRHP to attract and educate heritage audiences visitors. Insights of the design process are being formulated into an extensive design toolkit that aims to support experience design, theatre and heritage professionals to collaboratively carry out similar projects.

混合现实遗产表演作为遗产地的非殖民化工具

在本文中，我们介绍了两种世界首创的混合现实 (MR) 体验，它们融合了智能 AR 眼镜和现场剧院，并在遗址中进行，旨在揭示该遗址关于奴隶制的隐藏而艰难的历史。我们将这些独特的普通观众体验称为混合现实遗产表演 (MRHP)。随着我们最初的两场表演的发展，我们设计并开发了一种工具和指南，可以通过批判性地让公众了解欧洲和殖民叙事中代表性不足的声音和观点，帮助遗产组织完成非殖民化进程。评估显示了 MRHP 在吸引和教育遗产观众方面的具体和情感潜力。对设计过程的见解正在被形成一个广泛的设计工具包，旨在支持体验设计、剧院和遗产专业人士合作开展类似的项目。
