The brief description: The Kinetic Interface blog starts with the premise that by focusing on the body and movement we can better understand, engage with, and contribute to many of the technological and scientific changes that are reshaping our daily lives. First Two Posts: - Welcome to The Kinetic Interface Blog! - Commissioning Dancers Through "Movement Score" Initiative Background Pages: - Movement Is at the Heart of Scientific and Technological Change (Video Guide with 16 clips) - The Popularity of Dance Continues to Grow at Rapid Pace Additional Resources: In right-hand column of The Kinetic Interface blog, you'll find: - My Del.icio.us links for the many scientific and technology-focused resources I'm bookmarking. - My new blogroll that covers a number of different topics. Please share your thoughts and feedback.

One of the things I hope to do is highlight the intersection of dance and movement with developments in many spheres including: - Fashion After about two months of research, what strikes me is the extent to which movement, motion and gestures are an ever more important element of our increasingly digital, high-tech world. Here's the blogroll for my new blog, which I think will give you a good idea of some of the topics I'll be covering: Architecture and Design Dance, Art and Music Digital Future Environment and Sustainability Fashion Gadgets and Technology Gaming and Entertainment Interaction Design Internet/Web 2.0 Mobile and Wireless Transhuman Trend Sightings Visualization Posted by Doug Fox at 10:43 AM - Permalink | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0) April 4, 2008Preparing for New BlogI'll soon be launching a new blog on Great Dance. I have about two to four weeks left of research before I'm ready to roll it out. The goal of my new blog is ambitious: I'd like to engage a much larger number of people outside of the dance community in conversations about dance, movement and gestures. Much more to come. A Bit of a Teaser Here are three stories and videos that "point" to new directions in how gestures are being used to interact with our increasingly digital world: In Robots Controlled by Gestures on Technabob, you can read about the robotic work of engineer Tsuyoshi Horo at Tokyo University. He has created robots that move based upon hand gesture directions. Architectradure writes about a research project called BodyMnemonic. Body Mnemonic is a concept for using different parts of the body to control a range of mobile devices. A tap to the ear can activate an iPod, for example. Watch videos on project web site:
Also in Technabob, you'll find a story about the Touchless Touch Screen User Interface. The post is about Eliptic Labs' development of a 3D touchless mouse that uses gestures to control on-screen activity: Posted by Doug Fox at 3:14 PM - Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) April 2, 2008Great Dance Home Page UpdateI've been re-designing Great Dance home page. In left-hand column, you'll find a selection of links to posts from the dance blogosphere. If your dance blog is not listed in the right-hand column of Great dance home page (scroll down a bit), I might not be tracking your blog. Please email me info. about your dance blog so that I can include it. Also, as you'll see, I've added rotating dance videos to top of home page.
