FINAL PROJECT: Initial Concepts

We are extending our initial idea of transferring body movements and dance into music and visuals through a wearable circuit throughout the body, and a motion detecting camera. Sensors on the shoes transmit foot movement such as tapping and stepping into a drum beat, while placing the hands on different places on the body complete the music with instrumental loops. Also, the motion of the dancer is translated into visual expressions on a screen by a camera combined with MAX MSP motion detection. This forms a feedback loop between the dancer and the music and visuals he/she is creating:

The dancer creates movements -> the movements create music and visuals -> the music and visuals promote more movement and emotions from the dancer. -> The dancer creates movements...
