ABSTRACT
This paper describes an interactive scenography designed to enhance the use of embodied imagination in a stroke survivors' performance workshop called The Green Screening workshop, conceived by the company Split Britches. We explore performance techniques combined with live motion capture to provide participants with an abstract visual world that helps them to enact fantasy scenes they create in front of an audience. A simple interface provides real-time visualisations of participant's body movements in three different scenarios and promotes engagement with the co-present audience. The system was evaluated in two workshops with stroke survivors. The results indicate that the system is effective in encouraging participants' creative use of embodied improvisation.

AbstractRecently, a home-based rehabilitation system for stroke survivors (Baptista et al. Comput. Meth. Prog. Biomed. 176:111–120 2019), composed of two linked applications (one for the therapist and another one for the patient), has been introduced. The ...
Human upper-body inverse kinematics for increased embodiment in consumer-grade virtual reality
VRST '18: Proceedings of the 24th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyHaving a virtual body can increase embodiment in virtual reality (VR) applications. However, comsumer-grade VR falls short of delivering sufficient sensory information for full-body motion capture. Consequently, most current VR applications do not even ...
