– Capturing Position and Motion
Fachmodul
Lehrperson(en): Max Neupert, with Workshops by Frieder Weiß and Robert Wechsler
Credits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWS
Date: Thursday, 14:00 to 17:15
Venue: Marienstraße 7b, Room 204 (Steubenstraße 6a, Studio 1)
First meeting: 21.10.2010
Description
Keeping Track – Capturing Position and Motion is a class designed to shine light of different tracking methods and their uses in art, music, dance, performance and entertainment. GPS, RFID and camera tracking can harness movement and create positioning data in different scales which then can be mapped to feed visualisation or sonification. The tracking information can serve as interface and instrument. We will learn and understand the basic principles of motion detection and capturing and work with more complex systems. We will rig a suitable room with a professional motion tracking system allowing us to explore its capabilities and limitations. Part of the course is a two day workshop by Frieder Weiß demoing and introducing the software solution eyecon.
German description
Der Unterricht findet auf englisch statt (Es sei denn alle Teilnehmer einigen sich auf Deutsch als Unterrichtssprache).
Keeping Track – Capturing Position and Motion ist ein Kurs der verschiedene Methoden beleuchtet um Bewegungen zu verorten. In Kunst, Musik, Tanz, Performance, und Unterhaltung wird Tracking eingesetzt. Technologien wie GPS, RFID und die Bewegungserkennung per Videobild können Bewegungen unterschiedlicher Größenordnung in Positionsdaten umwandeln, welche dann auf Visualisierungen oder Sonifizierungen abgebildet werden. Bewegungsdaten sind Eingabemethode und Instrument. Wir werden die Grundlegenden Prinzipien der Bewegungerkennung kennen und verstehen lernen, und mit komplexeren Systemen arbeiten. Ein passender Raum wird mit einem prefessionellen Bewegungserkennungssystem ausgestattet werden, was uns die Möglichkeiten und Schwächen der Technologie erkennen lassen wird. Teil des Kurses ist ein zweitägiger Workshop von Frieder Weiß der die Software Lösung eyecon vorstellen wird.
