An interactive installation for browsing a dance video database

Abstract

In this paper, we present an interactive installation allowing to navigate through a collection of dance performances. The collection, that was specially recorded for the project, is composed of professional dancers of any style or technique improvising within a precise context : 2 minutes, defined space, exact lighting. We describe a dedicated user interface designed to allow an easy and instructive navigation through the collection using either textual tags provided by the dancers or automatically extracted features of dance motion. © 2010 IEEE.
