| 3D Animation of Nō Movement
|
 |
| This archive presents the findings of a joint research project on nō performance by the Noh Theatre Research Institute and the Department of Engineering and Design, Hosei University. Nō dances are composed of temporal sequences of movement units described in documents called kata-tsuke. This research presents an approach using motion capture to synthesize nō dances as 3-D animations aligned in a time sequence. (This requires the 3Unity3D animation viewer for dance and movement elements.) | |
