Hello, that is an interesting approach. I believe that the efficiency of the system you aim to create and propose as a tool will affect the translation of creative intentions to artistic forms. Accelerometers are nice but I think very limited…

Hi Lali, At present I am working on building a system that was implemented in the past. I am working with some researchers from my uni, Simon Fraser University, and from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. It's still very…

Thanks, Marco. I'm using XBee accelerometers for this project and probably using a neural network to train the system, although your post raises the intriguing possibility of validating our system (which uses accelerometer data) using another…

Recognizing and categorizing qualities of human movement using sensors

Hi everyone, I'm a grad student at Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts and Technology, and I'm working on a project using a sensor-based system that recognizes Laban Effort qualities (space, weight, time, flow). This would allow a user not just to recognize that a person reached out their arm, but whether it was a punch or a poke or a gentle firm pat. This system could be used for performance. I was wondering if anyone has developed or has used (or knows of someone who has…See More
