Computer animation of articulated figures can be tedious, largely due to the amount of data
which must be specified at each frame. Animation techniques range from simple …

[57] ABSTRACT A motion analyzing method analyzes and displays motions of a human
being or an animal using a computer in an interactive manner Without requiring trial and …

Choreography creation requires high proficiency in artistic and technical skills.
Choreographers typically go through four stages to create a dance piece: preparation …

Current computer graphics hardware and software make it possible to synthesize near photo-
realistic images, but the simulation of natural-looking motion of articulated figures remains a …

A method of using footprints as a basis for generating animated locomotion is proposed. An
optimization process is used to maximize the physical plausibility and perceived comfort of a …

Symbolic systems such as Labanotation for notating dance and choreography provide a
critical tool for the preservation of cultural heritage in what once was considered an …

The Viewpoints AI installation attempts to create an interactive movement-based art
experience that has minimal predefined instantial content. As opposed to focusing on …

A new approach for the animation of articulated figures is presented. We propose a system
of articulated motion design which offers a full combination of both direct and inverse …

This paper describes the evolution of the interface to Life Forms, a compositional tool for the
creation of dance choreography, and highlights some of the important lessons we have …

Abstract The thesis examines Merce Cunningham's making of the dance Trackers, which
was created with the assistance of LifeForms, a computer choreographic software tool …
