Project description
La Trilogie des flous created by Daniel Danis is composed of three texts: Je ne, Sommeil et rouge, and Reneiges. This poetical performance exploration stages a dancer, actants, performers and computer scientists. This 100-minutes long creation attempts to investigate further into the roles of the physical being, the movement, the speech and the time flow in a performance context. The actions performed are influenced by multiple sensory cues associated to the poem, the images and the soundscape. Compagnie Daniel Danis, arts/sciences

Summary
This paper presents a new system for tridimensional virtual drawing relying on an infrared pen observed by a number of surrounding cameras. Nintendo wiimotes are used as cameras to provide reliable real-time tracking information. Since 3D triangulation requires the pen to be visible from at least 2 cameras, which highly constrains the field of view, we support many wiimotes for accurate reconstruction over a large space, while providing maximum movement flexibility to a performer. The paper focus on the calibration of multi-wiimotes setups and accurate 3D reconstruction of trajectories. Tested with 4 wiimotes and used in real performance context, the system provides both accurate 3D tracking and great performance flexibility.
