Description
A “live” musical performance, using two performers to create a digital avatar – a singer animating the face, and a dancer animating the body.
The dancer's movement is recorded through a motion capture bodysuit, and the singer's facial expressions are captured by the iPhone's ARCore. Both are streamed live into the Unreal Engine game environment. The video image of both performers is also streamed and forms part of the virtual performance space, showing the physical and digital bodies side by side.
Performers:
Jordan Rutter – singer
Stacy Grossfield – dancer
Music:
Cold Genius aria from King Arthur by Henry Purcell
