Immersive Performance Training Tools Using Motion Capture Technology

Traditionally, students can undergo performance training by imitating teachers’ motions and improving their moves by following teachers’ advice. However, teachers are not always available and there is a lack of effective self-training tools. In this paper, we propose an immersive performance training system with motion capture technology. Our aim is to provide a virtual training environment for performance training. In the environment, the student’s performance is analyzed by our system and a virtual teacher will give feedback for his/her improvement. As a result, the student can self-train and get feedback the same way as in a traditional performance training lesson. We will present our prototype implementation of a dance education system according to our design of immersive performance training system with motion capture technology.
