Interactive Visual Canon Platform

The Interactive Visual Canon Platform (IVCP) is the first project realized in the TU Eindhoven vision studio. In music, a canon is a composition employing one or more repetitions of a melody, played with a certain delay. The initial melody is called the leader, and the imitative melody is called the follower.

The visual canon platform realizes a similar concept for dance performances. A person, being the leader, performs and followers are automatically created and projected on a screen. The leader can now interact with his followers in many ways. The system is currently in prototype stage. More information can be found at Christoph Bartneck’s site.
