An Augmented Reality Interface for Choreography Generation

Abstract

Choreography is a creative process for crafting movement that has existed for manyyears. As digital technologies surge different means of generating choreography arebeing explored. Choreographers gain a lot from the use of digital tools in choreographygeneration. The aim of the project is to develop an Augmented Reality (AR) choreographygenerator interface and compare it with another interface for choreography generation, aPersonal Computer (PC) based choreography generator. For that purpose, we develop anAndroid based augmented reality choreography generator and a PC based choreographygenerator. In the project we use the marker based tracking approach for augmentedreality. Our research contributes to the study of how different interactive methods of thesame application affect user experience. The results verify the effectiveness of augmentedreality in developing training and design applications.
