Virtual Dance Museum

The "Virtual Dance Museum" project focuses on digitally preserving and showcasing folk dance creations using emerging technologies. By employing advanced motion capture systems, 3D scanning, and full HD cameras, expert dancers performing various folk dances are recorded to generate high-quality motion data. This data is then stored in a dedicated database, providing a valuable resource for scholars and dance experts to study and analyze traditional dance forms. For example, the motion capture data is uploaded to AMASS (Archive of Motion Capture As Surface Shapes), a large database that standardizes motion capture datasets for animation, visualization, and deep learning. In addition to this, the project allows for virtual navigation and interaction with the dance data through 3D character visualization, offering a deeper understanding of traditional dances while also supporting e-learning and gamification applications.
