Dear Carol,
The engineering department at Duke is currently working with the alban
elved dance group on a collaboration utilizing a variety of sensor
technologies, including laser, infrared, and the Argus array (a 64
video-camera facility that can make and distribute 3D virtual models in
real-time).
The performance, "Free Space," premiers on Thursday. You might be
interested in the webcast of the related symposium on Friday, which will
address a range of artistic and technical issues, and you could participate
in the chat-room. Please see our website for more details:

Please respond to dance-tech
I am looking into collaborating with our engineering department at UC
Berkeley on a dance and engineering project which will result in a multi
media performance -- we were interested in remote control, motion sensors
and miniaturization technology but the more general question is _ has
anyone been working with or know about technology designed for the arts
which has had "practical/real life" applications?
I am particularly interested in the potential for translating using motion
sensors to technology to help the visually impaired...but there are
probably many more possible applications.
thanks,
--
