“A four-sided digital dance experience, dBcube connects dancers on opposite sides of Microsoft’s Cube with dynamic virtual ribbons. Dancers and their friends can see themselves in a whole new way, interacting with dancers they might not know on the opposite side of the sculpture. Dancers’ avatars link at the hands with flowing ribbons, turning their individual dance moves into fluid, twisting shapes and creating collaborative visual expressions as they move to the music. dBcube visualizes a collection of sensor data from the four Kinects in the Cube, reacts in real time to the beats of performers at the venue and cycles through a variety of virtual environments as the evening progresses.”
