Co-creative Bodily Expression through Remote Shadow Media System

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss media technology that enables the co-creation of bodily expressions between remote locations. To realize this, we designed a common background media space through bodily expressions, and by sharing this media between separate locations, we attempted to share the stages between these locations. The background media we developed was a large number of particles that flow in association with bodily movements. From our experimental results, we discovered that it is indeed possible to integrate different stages into a shared stage by enclosing the stage within background media.
