Abstract

The Tele-immersive Dance Environment (TED) is a geographically distributed, real-time 3-D virtual room where multiple participants interact independent of physical distance. TED, a highly interactive collaborative environment, offers digital options with multiple viewpoints, enhancing the creative movement composition involved with dance choreography. A symbiotic relationship for creativity and design exists between dance artists and computer scientists as the tele-immersive environment is analyzed as a creativity and learning tool. We introduce the advancements of the interactive digital options, new interface developments, user study results, and the possibility of a computational model for human creativity through Laban Movement Analysis.
