Looks like what SA can/could do easily?

Interesting interaction between live dancers and processed videos/images, I most certainly can see a use for this in my live-performace work (I hope this link will work):

Here are images of my latest performance with musicians and a dancer: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10202110493060911.1073741890.1145332895&type=1&l=9460615094 and https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10202188867900233&type=1&l=c562199ade

    Another idea : kinetic sculpture...

    I think that we can do much more than what is shown in your first link. There the choreography is merely "synched" to the visuals. It should be possible to have the visual be interactive with the dancers. I believe that SA can get us close and maybe v5 all the way there. Using a camera or xbox type input for the source image and letting SA riff on the source while the dancer(s) moved would be the way to go. Possibly SA would need to be faster to make it all happen in real time.

      I don't know if any of you have seen the portable visual setup the Nine inch Nails visual crew came up with for their summer tour last summer. I can hunt down a short documentary on it and post it here. It's more in line with what LiveAr is talking about doing.

      They used a combo 2d 3D kinect camera system that captured live images for each performer and then projected real time manipulated visuals on portable screens behind the performers. The setup requirements for a summer festival tour are really severe, so the setup they came up with as really clever, and pretty sophisticated at the same time.

        Here's what i'm referring to. 

        This is the kind of stuff we'd like to be able to configure when we get to Studio Artist V6.

      Been there, done that, up to a point: see these images, and especially this one where you can see the dancer dance with her shadow and an image captured in real time (actually live video through a DV camcorder used as a source in SA). But the lag between the in and the out was too much to use on a regular basis (granted, that was a few years ago, in 2010, DV-in via Firewire 400).

      Things may go a bit faster now, donations towards the purchase of a Thunderbolt in/out box  and an HD camera would be most welcome. ;-)
