Video about the project

Behind the scenes

Wholodance focuses on Investigate bodily knowledge by applying similarity search tools, computational models, emotional content analysis and techniques for the automated analysis of non-verbal expressive movement to dance data that will help investigate movement and learning principles, vocabularies, mental imagery and simulation connected to Dance Practises.

The project also sets out to preserve the Cultural Heritage by creating a proof-of-concept motion capture repository of dance motions built in methods allowing interpolations, extrapolations and synthesis through similarity search among different compositions documenting diverse and specialized dance movement practices, and learning approaches.

Choreography and Motion Capture

Revolutionize Choreography by building and structuring an interactive repository of motion capture dance libraries. 

Choreographer and dancer

The custom dance data blending engine will give choreographers and dance teachers a powerful tool to blend and assemble an infinite number of dance compositions.

Motion Capture and Flamenco shoes

Innovate the Teaching of Dance by developing among others a life-size volumetric display that will enable a dance student to literally step inside the Dance master’s body that through the use of immersive and responsive motion capture data, will Identify and respond to collisions between the physical and virtual bodies.
