Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and new media technologies has revolutionized the theater industry, offering innovative opportunities for artistic expression and audience engagement. This article explores the impact of AI on multimedia stage design, particularly its implications for the theater industry and individuals with disabilities. By analyzing the innovative applications of artificial intelligence in scriptwriting, stage design, and virtual reality, the article points out the new opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence brings to artists and audiences. It particularly emphasizes how the combination of AI with AR/VR technologies provides a novel artistic experience for disabled individuals while also offering suggestions and prospects in areas such as intelligent audience experiences, copyright protection, and the transformation of traditional theaters. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of artificial intelligence in leading the theater industry forward and calls for an open-minded approach to addressing the challenges posed by new technologies, ensuring that theatrical arts continue to inspire audiences.
