MAVi: A Movement Aesthetic Visualization Tool for Dance Video Making and Prototyping
Since the appearance of the video technology, dance is mostly recorded, reproduced and reinterpreted through the cinematic medium. Current computer vision and motion capture systems encode movement information as joints positions, and angles of joints in a 3D skeleton. We present the Movement Aesthetic Visualization system (MAVi), a tool for aesthetic movement visualization that enables creative exploration of these data. We discuss how this software solution can be used for three-dimensional dance exploration, dance video prototyping, and generation of movement-driven visuals.
