Optical Tracking for Music and Dance Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes three different types of real-time optical tracking systems developed at the MIT Media Laboratory for use as expressive human-computer interfaces in music, dance, and interactive multimedia performances. Two of these, a multimodal conducing baton and a scanning laser rangefinder, are essentially hardware-based, while the third is a computer vision system that can identify and track different segments of the performer’s body. We discuss the technical concepts behind these devices and outline their applications in music and dance environments.

Dance-the-Music: an educational platform for the modeling, recognition and audiovisual monitoring of dance steps using spatiotemporal motion templates
In this article, a computational platform is presented, entitled “Dance-the-Music”, that can be used in a dance educational context to explore and learn the basics of dance steps. By introducing a method based on spatiotemporal motion templates, the platform facilitates to train basic step models from sequentially repeated dance figures performed by a dance teacher. Movements are captured with ...

متن کاملMotion Tracking: a Music and Dance Tool for People with Cerebral Palsy
We gave 32 people with cerebral palsy the opportunity to use a motion tracking system to convert their movements into musical sounds. Due to their physical limitations, people with Cerebral Palsy have traditionally had fewer opportunities to make music or dance. Motion tracking can palliate this inequality, since it permits any movement to be mapped to music and sound. We used two sensor system...
متن کاملNotation for Motion Tracking Controllers: A Gametrak Case Study
Notation systems are used in almost all fields, especially for the communication and expression of ideas. This paper proposes and discusses a notation system for Gametrak-based computer music instruments. The notation system’s design is informed both by Western music notation and dance notation, as well as common mappings used in laptop orchestras. It is designed to be soundagnostic, primarily ...
متن کاملAugmented Performance in Dance and Theater
This paper describes motivations and techniques to extend the expressive grammar of dance and theatrical performances. We first give an outline of previous work in performance, which has inspired our research, and explain how our technology can contribute along historical directions of exploration. We then present real-time computer vision based body tracking and gesture recognition techniques ...
