FORMotion is a software toolkit being developed by Bedford Interactive, which will allow dance teachers and anyone else interested in motion study, to manipulate and compare their video resources via a two screen interface. Comparing footage of dance from different angles, different interpretations of the same dance, or even different dances can be hugely beneficial in improving dance appreciation, performance and composition. The software will also have a wide range of applications beyond the dance studio, archiving dance in universities and libraries, and other areas of motion study, including sport.
The FORMotion Project is now well under way, thanks to a grant for Research & Development from Yorkshire Forward. Phase 1 of this research began in ernest in February 2010, and we can now give you some tantalising glimpses of what FORMotion may look like.
