Description
Keeping Track – Capturing Position and Motion is a class designed to shine light of different tracking methods and their uses in artworks, exhibition and entertainment. GPS, RFID and camera tracking can harness movement and create positioning data which then can be mapped and visualized or sonified. The tracking information can serve as interface, instrument or controller. 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.
