Current developments in haptic interfaces predominantly aim to achieve more 'realistic' sensations with a particular emphasis on the sense of touch, focusing on the fingertips for manipulating digital objects in VR/AR experiences. However, these haptic ...

Creative computing education can support engagement and learning across artistic and computational disciplines, while providing opportunities for meaningful expression. Prior work has shown that constructing with electronic textiles [6, 12] (alongside ...

We present a retrospective autoethnography grounded in data-driven design. The first author collected her movement data and subjective experience of learning the dance repertoire of modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan, which together were encoded into ...

This project aims to bring disabled perspectives into discussions about embodied co-creation in human-computer interaction (HCI). Everyone, from children to professional artists, learn and express themselves through creatively collaborating with others. ...

Representational forms are central to how we explore, communicate, and learn. Yet, they can be challenging to engage with as designers because they vary across disciplines, cultures, and communities. In this paper, we describe our analysis of a dance ...

This paper describes COMMIT!, an ongoing performance experiment that uses motion capture, bio-mechanical sensing, and interactive web platforms to consider the elusive, changeable nature of “commitment” and its relation to technological surveillance and ...

An affordance perspective highlights how resourceful the ecology is for creative actions of all sorts; it captures how creativity is grounded in materiality. In contrast to “canonical affordances” (i.e., “ready-to-hand,” mundane instances), creative ...

Engagement is a broad and multifaceted research subject. Self-report engagement data of time-based experiences such as life performance or films is mostly collected through post-hoc questionnaires. The present study compares two devices that allow for ...

The proliferation of data throughout society has produced an increased interest in novel ways to represent information to provide new insights, re-humanize data, or allow broader participation. Many novel data representations allow people to physically ...

We introduce details of the Augmented Reality (AR) series kin_at presenting the AR dance piece proxy (2022/2023) following and building on the initial AR dance performance kin_ (2021). The paper aims to open the question on how Mixed Reality (MR) as a ...

This paper investigates whether aspects of structured dance and choreography may improve cognitive skills related to computational thinking. It also explores the relationship between performance on computational thinking tasks and motivation. Twenty ...

This paper presents a novel approach for automatically generating Virtual Reality (VR) dance tracks, focusing on translating the movement of animated 3D models directly derived from music. Our method capitalizes on the recent advances in automated ...

In this demo we showcase an interactive application to support the learning of “TikTok dance challenge” short dance choreographies. Our system utilizes dance challenge videos as the information source, performing music analysis and pose estimation to ...

We developed a system that creates artistic dance movements by augmenting body movements with a VR device. Our proposed system controls a virtual dancer’s body in a virtual space in real time based on a VR device’s input. Whole-body movements, which are ...

Bodylab is a virtual reality system for creating full-body virtual reality avatars. It provides anatomically realistic mannequins as canvases, which can be painted and textured, sculpted and deformed, adorned with objects and animated with particle ...

Diffusion models have experienced a surge of interest as highly expressive yet efficiently trainable probabilistic models. We show that these models are an excellent fit for synthesising human motion that co-occurs with audio, e.g., dancing and co-speech ...

Designing technology for dance presents a unique challenge to conventional design research and methods. It is subject to diverse and idiosyncratic approaches to the artistic practice that it is situated. We investigated this by joining a dance company to ...

What expectations exist in the minds of dancers when interacting with a generative machine learning model? During two workshop events, experienced dancers explore these expectations through improvisation and role-play, embodying an imagined AI-dancer. ...

Human-Computer Interaction and the Arts have a relatively recent history, but computers have opened the world to new forms of expression and wide audiences. The way in which we think of art has changed, from webcomics and digital painting to AI-...

This paper explores using mixed reality (MR) mirrors for supporting improvisational dance making. Motivated by the prevalence of mirrors in dance studios and inspired by Forsythe’s Improvisation Technologies, we conducted workshops with 13 dancers and ...
