Description
Human body tracking is an almost solved problem under idealized, controlled environments, but remains a formidable challenge for the demands of the real-world, in particular, involving artistic applications with many individuals in dynamic spaces. The demands increase further when body gestures must be tracked, as issues of occlusion and sensor noise come into play. This workshop explores a number of applications in which tracking technologies have been integrated, and the experiences of the practitioners in deploying them. A series of demonstrations, held in the afternoon will provide practical exposure to some of the issues and opportunities arising from this field.
