ABSTRACT
Skeleton Conductor (SC) is a cross-disciplinary research and development project that aims towards a new immersive and interactive VR experience, which positions the perceiver and one's body as an active agent within the virtual realm while creating and interacting with the displayed sensorial input in a head mounted display (HMD). We share the current state of the Skeleton Conductor project and reflect to the many research and technology development-geared questions this project has brought us to. The aim of the practice work is to present preliminary results from our user experience target groups and to reflect upon some of the key research areas which aim to explore the significance of embodied experience. We plan to further define the modes and characteristics of full body real-time interactivity within this virtual environment. In practical terms this would mean setting up a VR device (HTC Vive) and to allow a participant to enter the SC experience, while other participants watch this experience from a large monitor or video projector. With this practice-based work, we hope to enable knowledge exchange and feedback from our peers, artists and other researchers.

What is Movement Interaction in Virtual Reality for?
MOCO '16: Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Movement and ComputingThis paper raises the question of why movement base interaction is important in Virtual Reality (VR). This is an important question as new VR hardware is increasingly being released together with movement interfaces. Slater's view is that VR reproduces ...
