Towards Augmented Choreography

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Choreographers are interested in enriched performances where virtual actants play together with live performers. Augmented Choreography can be viewed as the definition of how perceptions generated from the environment turn into commands that influence the environment itself and, in particular, virtual actants. This paper introduces a modular and extensible architecture that supports the flexible and dynamic definition of augmented choreographies and presents an experimental application.
