Embodying comics: reinventing comics and animation for a digital performance

Samanci, Ozge 02 July 2009 (has links)
In the digital era, the comics medium has been transported from print to computer screen, and thus its evolution takes place in digital performances based on full-body interaction technologies. The major implication of this process is that the conventions of comics will be merging with those of performance, film, and animation. In a comics story implemented with full-body interaction technologies, representational space shifts from two to three dimensions. Physical elements can now easily be combined with virtual ones. The participants' contribution to the experience now includes a larger set of kinesthetic choices. Earlier media offer the readers the opportunity to read the story with their eyes, turn pages, and click a mouse. Instead of one or perhaps two readers of print and screen-based comics, a digital performance can be experienced by a group of viewers positioned in space in various ways. By utilizing the tools of computer vision, the projection of a participant can be made the main character of the comics story. Consequently, the comics and animation frame changes when moved to digital performance spaces. The frame becomes embodied, nested, elastic, and dynamic. The first two qualities relate to the physicality of the medium, where performers and viewers are simultaneously present in both the real and fictional spaces. The second two qualities relate to the procedurality of the medium and the potential for computational manipulation within the frame based on changing relationships across space (distance) and time (story).

Cart : ​Car driving game using Godot and ML-based full-body interaction

Karlsson, Sebastian January 2022 (has links)
Sedentary lifestyles have bad health implications and are common amongst office workers. Therefore, exergames has risen to attention to assist with these issues and is a suitable alternative for those that find regular exercise boring or are seeking to complement regular exercise with short breaks to keep the blood flowing during office hours. Thus, the exergame Cart has been developed to assist in a less sedentary lifestyle with a 2-minute game to play during breaks. In this paper a discussion will be held about how an exergame can be created and will be evaluated by how the game encourages movement and what correlation the movement has compared to the score. As the score is the primary indicator of player performance and is the incentive for the player to keep better themselves. The findings show promising results indicating that the game does encourage movement and has a solid correlation to score, however not in a linear fashion.

Development of webcam-basedmotion mini-games with a focuson whole-body interaction andskeletal tracking / Utveckling av webbkamerabaserade rörelseminispel med fokuspå helkroppsinteraktion och skelettspårning

Lerssongkram, Techit January 2022 (has links)
"Sitting is the new smoking" and is one of the major causes of human health problems today. Swedes train the most in the world but are also among those who work  mostsedentary. Proper movement while taking 1 minute of active short breaks helps to preventfurther health problems. Cameras can detect body movements and this information can beused to do motion analysis and skeletal estimation. Furthermore, this can be used to create games that can use this detected movement and force the user to be more active whiledoing something fun.This thesis is about designing and implementing two mini-games in Godot for particular body movements using MediaPipe. Game designers for the mini-games use heuristicsfor motion-based control in games presented by Hara and Ovaska. This thesis focuses ondeveloping game control using motion control for the mini-games. The game controls areevaluated by calculating the sensitivity of how well the controls work for the games.
