    Make them shoot lasers and explode, and the audience will... perhaps double.

    Gadgets and technology in general has been employed heavily in theatrical work since, well -- forever, frankly. The use of special effects, lighting, audio, set design, costuming -- they have all had technical aspects made to bring the world of the play to "life" on the stage. Often times the technology and/or gadgets are not obvious to the audience, but in this case the director appears to have used the gadget world itself as part of Oberon's fairy kingdom.

    As a sound designer on King Lear at the University of Oregon's Robinson Theatre production back twenty years ago (yes, I am that old) we used a Macintosh for all of the sound effects tied to our lighting, for example. The art of illusion is often tied directly with gadgets and technology of all types, and that has been true since the day Sheakspeare took the stage.

    The problem with robotic actors is they are prone to sudden and dramatic amnesia.

    @Nick: In college, my department (sound design) was all about automation and trying to do everything we could to get out of sitting in the theater watching the same show night after night when there were plenty of parties and art openings. We didn't have the budget, but we were all about getting robots to do our work.

    A launcher is not a missile. I'm pretty sure these kinds of things can be picked up at your local military surplus store for $10, no problem. #missilelauncher

    @ki.cz: Read the article again. It was the lack of filter that allowed them to capture these images.
