Anno Perfume Training Gypsum

3 months ago, we launched a project of making an exciting video using open source motion tracking data of Perfume.→Anno Perfume Global Site Project
After that project, we began wanting to dance ourselves but unfortunately our dance was not good at all... When we are about to give up, a programmer stood up and said, "My application should tell you how to dance!" finally Anno Perfume Training Gypsum was built.
This page shows the video results through the help of this application and the process how we danced with it.

※Reauires OpenNI.
※Windows only. We welcome someone to built other environment. Source codes are available in Github. :)

About other folders

  • "depth" stores depth images. For instance, they will be used to delete background.
  • "image_user" stores images cropped to be only actor. They may be placed in 3D environments, or used like
    PointCloud by combining with depth images.
  • "image_div3" stores images that cut out in portrait Focusing on the human. Should be the video in 16:9, if three people.

Various collaborations

Surprisingly it seems to be dancing well though changing cloth, actor, place,,,. I may be good to publish the data taken to the middle on the Internet.
It is only an idea but will be interesting that making mechanism to upload and see fragmently data in the cloud. So that we can make movie from many people's dance images.
