on yahoo answers a person said
I am in a major dance competion can someone choreograph a whole routine for me to "insside the tornado" by amanda marshall. I would like turns and leaps ,so that i can impress the judges. Its the Americas dance nationals. If you could post it as soon as possible that
would be gr eat. Its a modern solo routine. Choreograph the whole thing please
well I dutifully looked up dance notation on wikipedia to see if this could be accomplished
far better would be to dance around with a wii then give her the result
I think wii dance notation would be nifty

No extra points for guessing which reply is Treon's. [jutta, Mar 27 2008]

So, use a wii to record movement patterns
of dance? Cool. You might need a few,
strapped to various limbs. |
|
| |
Just out of curiosity, shouldn't this guy
have figured out his own dance routine? |
|
| |
Gal. And, yeah! Where do they find these people? |
|
| |
Recording a choreography with an accelerometer--
It would be roughly like trying to record your favorite band with a sound meter. You're missing most of what makes it interesting. |
|
| |
this way we skip writing notation |
|
| |
the wii records then the software shows the dancer pictures that she can practice to |
|
| |
And if the dancer happens to be a small white box hovering in mid-air, her movements will be well-described by that. |
|
| |
I am in the awkward position of
agreeing with [Treon]. I can sort of
imagine a set of position sensors or
accelerometers that could be used to
record movements with sufficient
accuracy to allow software to
reconstruct the dance animatively. |
|
| |
On the other hand, maybe a video? But
then again, the recipient could wear a
complementary set of attachments that
would detect how far he/she was
adhering to the recorded pattern. |
|
| |
Actually, I'm agreeing with Treon only
because I'd like to encourage him to
make a YouTube video dancing naked
with twelve Wiis strapped to his body. |
|
| |
I emphasize that this is not the same as
actually wanting to watch said video. |
|

Animation studios have already solved a similar problem; they do it by filming markers attached to the dancer's body.
If you're actually trying to record human movement, that's a relatively cheap solution. (Use multiple cameras to reconstruct in 3D). If you're trying to do something fun with a single WII, having an animation editor that allows you to use an accelerometer or some sort of stick as input would be great - but let's take it for the fragment it is. |
|
| |
As [jutta] said, a great many actions will go unrecorded with accelerometer(s) alone. That said, communication of dance is an area sorely under-explored by vector algebra. |
