Chhau dance is a semi classical Indian with martial art and folk traditions. The ranges from celebrating arts, acrobatics athletics performed in festive themes of dance, to structured religious themes. Traditional game provides unique opportunities that conventional games may not have. They are generally based on fun participation rather than competition connect more important things beyond spo...

The dominant element in ballet is the search for flawless performance. The specific training required from early years may cause some changes compared to the normal human anatomy and physiology. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of motion analysis technologies for the evaluation of frequent changes in biomechanics of posture and dance. This paper presents an overview of the...

This software library allows a dancer to control the tempo of an electronically-generated music score, and/or to generate musical rhythmic structures from bodily movement in real time in interactive dance performance. The movement data is gathered non-invasively, using a fixed video camera placed outside the area in which the dancer is moving. This library is implemented as a set of external ob...

where Ω is a domain in RN . When Ω is a bounded domain in RN being convex in the zi direction and symmetric with respect to the hyperplane {zi = 0}, the famous theorem by Gidas, Ni, and Nirenberg [6] (or see Han and Lin [7]): if u is a positive solution of (1.1) belonging to C2(Ω) ∩C(Ω), then u is axial symmetric in zi. However, the axially symmetry of positive solution generally fails if Ω is ...

Various lifelike computer characters have been proposed in recent years [LCC’94, LCC’95]. In this paper, we introduce an innovative way of using a lifelike computer character to enhance the human-human and human-computer communication. We propose an interactive performance system in which a virtual CG dancer enables two players (musicians) to interact with each other not only through music but ...

We use the moduli space approximation to study the time evolution of magnetically charged configurations in a theory with an SU(N+2) gauge symmetry spontaneously broken to U(1)×SU(N)×U(1). We focus on configurations containing two massive and N − 1 massless monopoles. The latter do not appear as distinct objects, but instead coalesce into a cloud of non-Abelian field. We find that at large time...

Many famous paintings illustrate variations in what we here dub "referential depth." For example, paintings often include not only portrayals of uniquely referenced items, but also reflections of those items in mirrors or other polished surfaces. If a painting includes both a dancer and that dancer's reflection in a mirror, are there one or two dancers in the painting? Although there are two im...
