This project investigates (a) how immersive 3D technology will motivate, encourage, and stimulate dance collaborators in their creative processes through a model of dance, (b) identify new elements of the IT technology that support new choreography, e.g., new view management capabilities, new synchronization protocols, and (c) characterize two different interfaces for two very different groups of users: the dancers and the choreographers.By studying dance we can learn about non-verbal communication among people in general. There is no other art form that comes as close as dance to everyday human activity and yet intensifies, amplifies, and transforms that everydayness into extra-ordinary activity. The significance of dance as a means of analysis of a creative process include the following: dance's coded and choreography's conventions can be understood as a means of communication that is practiced across racial, cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic boundaries; one can view dance as a shared human activity; dance is a form of expression that uses bodily movements that are rhythmic, patterned, spatial, dynamic, expressive, shaped, felt, improvised, etc. dance is often accompanied by music; one of the oldest art forms, dance is found in every culture and is performed for purposes ranging from ceremonial, liturgical and magical to the theoretical, social, and aesthetic; dance has also been used to effect change in bodily or social conditions for religious and/or political circumstances; in human time, dance has been used as an effective form of communication that went beyond boundaries of linguistic sign systems; dance has a potential shared by music and virtual arts to transform human behavior; dance lends itself to analysis because it exists in a triangle of communication: choreographer, dancer and viewer.Intellectual Merit: This project will validate two major hypotheses: (1) Dancers will be able to learn faster new choreographies in the 3D tele-immersive spaces than via 2D video technologies, and (2) 3D tele-immersive spaces will allow choreographers to explore new choreographic elements when utilizing Digital Options not possible in co-located environments (e.g., different scales of dancers dancing together). The intellectual merit will be in understanding the creativity process in choreography domain, and in IT domain. These two hypotheses requires the development of IT tools for support of creative processes, i.e., flexible configurations of views for individual dancers, new synchronization protocols in spatial and temporal domain as the tele-immersive sides merge into one tele-immersive (TI space), and new interfaces for dancers and choreographers to access the new Digital Options in an easy manner.Broader Impact: This project will impact developments in the 3D tele-immersive technology as well as the dancing area. From the IT perspective, the new algorithms, protocols, interfaces and corresponding tools will allow users interested in creativity processes to work with and manipulate different views, scales, numbers, backgrounds, shapes, and other digital options needed in visual arts creative processes. In the domain of dance, we will have a better understanding of the learning and the creative processes of dance choreographers. This project will also impact education. Teaching students the art of choreography requires that they expand their perceptions of the body in time and space. Often it takes the student years to learn how to do this. With the help of the 3D tele-immersive system, the student will be given tools to immediately start experimenting with bodies in space. This expansion of perception will have huge implications within the creative process itself, allowing students to see and experience new ways of being in the world, and recombining the human forms in infinitely new relationships to space and to other forms.

本项目研究(a)沉浸式3D技术将如何通过舞蹈模型激励、鼓励和刺激舞蹈合作者的创作过程，(b)确定支持新编排的IT技术的新元素，例如，新的视图管理功能，新的同步协议，以及(c)为两个非常不同的用户群体（舞者和编舞）描述两种不同的界面。通过学习舞蹈，我们可以了解人们之间的非语言交流。没有任何一种艺术形式能像舞蹈这样贴近人类的日常活动，同时又能强化、放大、转化这种日常活动。舞蹈作为一种分析创作过程的手段的意义包括：舞蹈的编码和编舞的惯例可以被理解为一种跨越种族、文化、民族和社会经济界限的交流手段；你可以将舞蹈视为一种共享的人类活动；舞蹈是一种运用身体动作的表现形式，这些动作具有节奏感、模式化、空间感、动态性、表现力、形状感、感觉感、即兴感等。舞蹈通常伴有音乐；作为最古老的艺术形式之一，舞蹈存在于每一种文化中，其表演目的从仪式、礼仪和魔法到理论、社会和美学；舞蹈还被用来影响宗教和/或政治环境中身体或社会条件的改变；在人类时代，舞蹈已经被用作一种有效的交流形式，超越了语言符号系统的界限；舞蹈具有音乐和虚拟艺术所共有的改变人类行为的潜力；舞蹈之所以适合分析，是因为它存在于一个交流的三角关系中：编舞、舞者和观众。智力优势：该项目将验证两个主要假设：(1)与通过2D视频技术相比，舞者将能够在3D远程沉浸式空间中更快地学习新的编舞；(2)3D远程沉浸式空间将允许编舞家在使用数字选项时探索新的编舞元素，这在共存环境中是不可能的（例如，不同规模的舞者一起跳舞）。理解编排领域和IT领域的创意过程是智力上的优点。这两种假设需要IT工具的发展来支持创造性的过程，即，为单个舞者提供灵活的视图配置，随着远程沉浸式两侧合并到一个远程沉浸式（TI空间），空间和时间域的新同步协议，以及为舞者和编舞提供新的接口，以方便地访问新的数字选项。更广泛的影响：该项目将影响3D远程沉浸技术和舞蹈领域的发展。从IT的角度来看，新的算法、协议、接口和相应的工具将允许对创意过程感兴趣的用户使用和操作视觉艺术创意过程所需的不同视图、比例、数字、背景、形状和其他数字选项。在舞蹈领域，我们将更好地了解舞蹈编导的学习和创作过程。这个项目也将影响教育。教学生舞蹈艺术要求他们在时间和空间上扩展对身体的感知。学生通常要花几年的时间来学习如何做到这一点。在3D远程沉浸式系统的帮助下，学生将获得立即开始在太空中进行身体实验的工具。这种感知的扩展将对创作过程本身产生巨大的影响，使学生能够看到和体验在世界上存在的新方式，并以无限新的关系重新组合人类的形式与空间和其他形式。
