Public Performance
"Shall We Dance - Across Thousands of Miles?"
UIUC - Berkeley Collaboration

On Friday, December 8, we had a very successful live collaborative dance performance
with Ruzena Bajcsy's laboratory, at the UC Berkeley Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society. (CITRIS). This was the first public performance ever of a distance collaborative dance across thousands of miles using 3D video technology and synchrnoized in tele-immersive environment. We have proved that our approach can deliver very good, stable, syncrhnozied visual 3D tele-immersive data and environments for the dancers to investigate novel moves and new choreography. The whole video clip is available for
