    Digital Dance Studio VR (DDS-VR): An innovative user-focused immersive software application for digital choreographic composition, planning, teaching, learning, and rehearsal.

Description:


    The Digital Dance Studio VR (DDS-VR) is an innovative user-focused immersive software application for choreographic composition, planning, teaching, learning, and rehearsal. It offers a simple and intuitive immersive interface for creation and manipulation of choreographic sequences in virtual space, permitting exploration of spatial and temporal patterning, musical accompaniment, environment and design aesthetics, and allowing users to change the position, number, rhythm and orientation of dancers. It provides a suite of modular tools for choreographers, dancers, and anyone interested in exploring movement in a digital context – including Film and TV applications in blocking/storyboarding of fight and crowd sequences. The DDS-VR application can empower users to create, visualize, and share digital choreography outside of the physical studio, saving considerable time and money on studio and personnel hire, and bypassing the more professionalized use of real-time graphics software such as Unity and Unreal.
