Abstract

This paper reports the design and implementation of a proximity sensor based floor that is capable of tracking a dancer’s steps, transmitting these to a linked computer for analysis and/or to drive other media. The design rational is outlined in the light of previous dance floors that have been developed to control performance. The aim is to develop the floorspace for recording and representing dance: for use in dance research programmes, choreographic experimentation, performance and musical composition.
