Dance.Draw - Interdisciplinary Project Fuses Interaction Design and Dance
The Dance.Draw Exquisite Interaction project is an interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte that combines human-computer interaction (HCI) and dance. In the project's performance work, each dancer holds two wireless Logitech Air mice (one per hand). The movements of the mice serve as input for real-time visualizations that are projected on to a large screen behind the dancers.

Participating in this project were Dr. Celine Latulipe in the Software and Information Systems Department and Professor Sybil Huskey from the Department of Dance along with student dancers and other contributors. In her research in interaction design, Dr. Latulipe explores two-handed interaction techniques or symmetric interactions that require both hands to actively contribute to a task.
This research focus is reflected in this collaborative dance project. You can learn a bit more about the software, visualization and input techniques behind this dance performance on the project's technology page.
