B-Dancing with the Kinect Lina Alaoui Mar 2011
Dance Central • Steep learning curve • Demands accurate moves from the player • Good Break it Down tutorial mode • Hip-Hop vibe • Avatar mimics dancer’s moves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-iKWe-U9bY
Dance Paradise • Dance is more technical • Takes a bit of getting used to the “lanes” system • Includes the original music videos to each song • Cartoonish feel with Avatar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2LcBRs3BQ
Dance Masters • Places a video image of the player on the screen so they can see themselves in real time • Moves are fast and frantic • Tutorial is not as in depth – or song specific – as Dance Central • A lot of footwork involved in each dance • Scantily clothed dancers • A grown-up club feel to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUz3G8W7fxQ
We present Dance InternationalFeaturing Oriental “Belly” Dancing • Focus on Dance central and Dance Masters features • Seeing yourself on TV is like dancing in front of mirror • Evaluate possibility to teach belly dancing on the Kinect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMIk8k4niKk
B-Dance Tentative Project Scope • The Dancer • Design Avatar Look • The Dance • Create dance choreography (Kinect detectable) • Create Break Down moves (tutorial) • Dance instructions (verbal) • The Scene • Design dance environment • Define scoring rules
