My thesis research used the Flock of Birds motion tracking system to animate a human skeleton modeled with bones and muscles by Dr. Jane Wilhelms. This research was part of the Animal Modeling and Animation project of the Santa Cruz Laboratory for Visualization and Graphics. I plan on putting my thesis and updated bibliography online soon.
I have done extensive research on the use of computers for choreographing and documenting dance. If you are interested, please look at my computer dance bibliography. I support the efforts of the Dance Heritage Coalition to preserve the legacy of dance and recommend Life Forms choregraphy software and the LabanWriter notation editor as documentation tools.
